Coronavirus spotlight: chatting with Destination British Columbia

Earlier this summer, I decided to do something totally unoriginal—I joined the hordes of Americans working remotely from Lisbon.

Somewhere in the world there is an excited dog flying for the first time. Whether this lucky pooch is flying economy or business class, it’s best to be well prepared for the big day. Flying with your dog takes planning and it’s important to prioritize their needs and follow airline requirements. As a travel writer I have met several jet setting pooches on my flights with happy wagging tails and a sense of adventure. But that is not to say all dogs love to fly, even if they do get a window seat on a private jet.

Make the most of summer in Ontario by swimming in crystal clear water under the hot sun. Ontario is Canada’s second largest province, covers more than 415,000 square miles, and is home to lush forests, waterfalls, trails, and refreshing lakes, rivers, and hidden gem coves. The natural landscapes and rugged beauty of Ontario make a great road trip destination whether you live in Canada or are driving from the United States. Pack up your car for a road trip to one of these three Ontario beaches and before long you will be walking barefoot along the soft sand or splashing in the water without a care in the world.

Last week, I wrote about my upcoming round-the-world trip, which I had been planning for several months (here’s the story). My friends and family were concerned about me going to Asia amid the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. Of course, I had some concerns, too. After asking for answers to the question “Should I cancel my trip to Asia?” on both my website and my Facebook page, I was shocked by how many people said that I should cancel. Some of the comments were coming from big-time travelers, including executives of Asian airlines.
