The #CabotTrail winds through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in #NovaScotia. Dramatic coastal cliffs, lush highlands, and views that stretch for miles. A legendary drive where the journey is the destination.

We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation.
The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them.
We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed.

🎄✨ Merry Christmas to everyone! ✨🎄 If you're spending the day with loved ones, take a moment to think of someone who might be alone. The magic of Christmas is in the heart, and a simple gesture—like inviting them to join you—can make all the difference. ❤️ It matters more than you know. 😊🎁

First commission for the new year is at a prestigious pub. And despite the dreary media landscape at the moment, l asked for a higher fee, and got it. Never be afraid to reach for the stars, even when they seem too far to reach🥂.

There are already many excellent travel writer starter packs circulating but I thought I'd make a Europe-specific one so that colleagues new to Bluesky can see some local faces in their feed. Do share – and though it's nowhere near finished yet, do DM me if I've missed you! go.bsky.app/2bgQ6UY

Not exactly a #callforpitches, but a periodic reminder that I'm always open to pitches about Québec travel for the ongoing series I oversee at Vermont's Seven Days newspaper. Send me your juicy, your colorful, your sharply observed story ideas! Details and some examples in this thread.
