10 PROS For A Track Trip With VIA Rail

         

I have been travelling by train with VIA Rail since I was a child. I can still recall that very first time that I looked out the window in awe and wonder of how quickly we were moving and the lovely view along the way. That exilerating feeling never passes and I still get excited knowing I will be on a train for a trip again.

10 PROS For Travelling By Track 

1) Someone else does all the work instead of you 

2) You can focus on relaxing with books, magazines or the internet 

3) Free wifi is included on the trip

4) Beautiful scenery can be seen so make sure you ask for a window seat when booking

5) Both hands are free to write or journal the experience freely 

6) You can meet interesting travellers telling their stories 

7) You can choose to be served food at your seat by staff as they make their way with the food carts 

8) It is relatively affordable to travel by train 

9) It is incredibly environmental to travel as a group to one destination together 

10) You are making memories of a great adventure 

This is why I choose VIA Rail for my holidays and trips and why I think you should travel the tracks in luxury and create memories of a journey that I know you will always cherish and remember !

Happy trails on the tracks !

May they take you somewhere exciting or somewhere to relax !

Celebrating Earth Day 2017

                                           

Earth Day is tomorrow (April 22,2017) and blogs and social media is just buzzing with some great ideas of  different crafts and Earth friendly topics that I felt inspired to contribute with with some suggestions and thoughts of how you can spend your day dedicated to Earth.

How Can I Contribute For Earth Day 

1) Many cities are offering programs to volunteer for clean up or help with the spring planting. Contact your local community centres and ask them if they know if anything is going on in your community for clean up and planting.

2) If weather permits pack a litter free lunch and go out for a picnic or hike.

3) Visit a butterfly conservatory and experience some nature with them.

4) Learn a Seed Bomb Recipe and make a batch to toss!

5) Eat foods today that require no use of electricity at the stove,toaster or microwave.

6) Visit your local gardening centre and pick up something you can plant.

7) Spend the entire day away from the TV and computer.

8) Write a pledge of something environmental you currently are not doing and promise Earth that you will accomplish it.

9) Write a poem about nature and what it means to you and share it.

10) Collect natural items outside to use for future crafting projects.
