The Human Rights Museum

When we were in Winnipeg, we went to the Museum  of  Human Rights. There, it talked all about our rights and our history. We went on a Tuesday and we were some of the only kids there! My favourite part of the museum was this room with blank walls filled with only ideas and thoughts. This room was a place where you could write what you believe or what you think about human rights on a small piece of paper. When you were finished, you could put your paper up on the walls along with hundreds of others! This room was really neat and inspiring.

There were many interesting exhibits at the museum. We were lucky to get to go into the Nelson Mandela exhibit that was only there for about 2 weeks.

We learned a lot about canadian and international history.

It would be really cool to have one of these museums where we live. On the outside, the museum is huge and covered in glass! It’s stunning. The tickets aren’t too expensive and I would recommend this museum to anyone who is going to Winnipeg. The only thing is that little kids would probably get restless because they might not understand everything. So use your own judgment!😀

Introducing the Family

This is my first post.  My name is Nathan and I am a 9 year-old boy (almost 10) and can't wait for this trip.  My older sister Chelsea is 12 years old and my younger brother Parker is 7 years old.   I am looking forward to sharing pictures and stories with you over the adventurous year ahead! This picture was taken a couple of years ago so we are all a bit bigger now!

Velika Planina - Slovenia

Velika Planina, in a Nutshell This could have been Heidi's village Ever wish you were Heidi ? Well, it turns out, you can find the backdrop you need for your make-believe at Velika Planina in Slovenia. You can hike (a few hours) or take a cable car up to a high-altitude plain where you will find a village nestled on the lee-side of an ever-present windy peak.  A hearty people live here - a tribe of herdsmen.  They build unique huts, in an ancient way, and allow tourists to explore their space/land. This is not an adrenaline jolt, but it is quaint and unique and undeniably historical.  Come for the views, stay for the peace and quiet. Getting Here The cable car runs fast and saves a lot of time and effort... we'd recommend it You can hike up to this peak from the valley, but it is pretty high at 1600m - a good slog on a service road.   Alternatively, you can take a cable car up from  Kamniška Bistrica .  We did the latter - the kids wanted to 'save the...

Slovenia - Ljubljana

 A Long Time Coming... COVID wasn't much fun for anyone. We fared well, but amongst the things COVID destroyed was our wanderlust - we stayed close to home, and leaned into Canada . Well, with COVID gone(ish), we've started to feel the "itch" again... so we're back on the road - this time on a Euro travel leg.  We pickup our adventures in Ljubljana, Slovenia.   Why Ljubljana (Slovenia)? Slovenia is  beautiful .  It's northern alpine regions are spectacular, boasting emerald lakes, rugged mountains and a notable lack of traffic.  The entire country feels under-sold - like tourism is about to beat down its door... and that's why we came. Ljubljana is in the center of Slovenia, wedged between Venice and Zagreb.  It remains a quaint, friendly, accessible, well-organized and authentic experience.  Ljubljana is a great place to decompress after overseas travel.  Once you've reset your circadian rhythm, Ljubljana becomes an incredible launch po...
