REST | In Samoa you will often stay in a Fale. The word fale (pronounced fah-leh) is the Samoan word for any type of building. In the Samoan language, these simple huts are called faleo'o. A beach fale is a simple thatched hut in the architecture of Samoa, built with a few posts, no walls and a thatched roof with a round or oval shape. While these Beach Fes at Le Lagoto Resort on the island of Savai'i have enclosed walls, they mimic the traditional fales. I am a big fan of the fales, simple and rustic yet this allows them to be set right on the beachfront.

BEAUTY | Beautiful is back in Samoa and while the natural wonders are stunning, the people of Samoa are just beautiful - inside and out. You won't find a more welcoming nation, with smiles everywhere and kindness like you won't believe. I have been blessed to make some life long friendships while here and look forward to returning again.

BEAUTIFUL | Beautiful is back here in Samoa. Yes, after some 865 days of closed borders due to the pandemic, Samoa is open to travellers. And ready they are, with open arms and welcoming smiles, the local Samoans are so pleased to be able to show off their stunning country again. Get here quick before these secluded beaches are dotted with travellers. Meanwhile, I have Vavau Beach all to myself.

CONTRAST | The coastline of Samoa is raw and rugged but this is a stark contrast to the vibe on the island. The locals are warm and welcoming and the vibe is very much chilled. It has been a long few years of lockdown, but Samoa is finally open to travellers visiting. I am excited to be one of the first travellers to explore this Pacific nation. I snapped this photo near To Sua Ocean Trench.

MARKINGS | The Atlantic Puffin is the provincial bird. About 95% of all North America's puffins breed around the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts. Head to Elliston Puffin Viewing Site & Discovery UNESCO Global Geopark Site to see these gorgeous birds often called clowns of the ocean or sea parrots due to their markings. Puffins are terrible at flying and even worse at landing. I could have sat all day watching them return from the ocean with beaks full of fish, trying to land.

GIGANTIC | Newfoundland's Twillingate is the unofficial capital of Iceberg Alley. Between 400 to 800 icebergs move past Iceberg Alley every year. To sit and watch a colossal iceberg slowly drift by is a mindblowing experience. This is exactly what locals and visitors along Iceberg Alley experience each year between late April and early June. Interesting fact - the Titanic went down in the waters off Iceberg Alley after striking an iceberg.

BRIGHT | I could not have asked for better weather when exploring Newfoundland. The change in season brought not only the icebergs, but the wild dandelion flowers were coming out everywhere. The pop of yellow colour just added to the brightly coloured houses and buildings.

CHARM | Newfoundland is the easternmost province of Canada and has a reputation for being friendly. Warm and welcoming, fun loving and funny to the core, the people here are also known for their natural creativity, unique language, and knack for storytelling. The island is scattered with colourful houses and shops, making it a photographers delight. This photo I captured in Trinity at Trinity Loft.

SIZE | For female elk, there's nothing sexier than two 250-kilogram male suitors tussling for her favor, their 1.2-meter-tall antlers locked in a battle of strength and determination. But growing such powerful racks is risky, because males must shed their previous headgear early in the season to do so—putting them at risk of being killed by wolves. Elk regrow their racks every year, and the longer they have to do this, the bigger—and better—those antlers are when the fall mating season comes around. Some drop them by early March, whereas others—particular young ones—keep them through April. No one really knew why all elks don't drop their antlers sooner. This guy I spotted on my drive between Banff and Jasper.
