Cedar Path Expeditions - Iceland Hiking Adventure

ICELAND HIKING ADVENTURE

    Backpack through the spectacular Westfjords with our partners at Cedar Path Expeditions on this Iceland Hiking Adventure.
    
    Perched on the furthest tip of Iceland’s Westfjords, this peninsula is the most remote and wild backcountry region of Iceland. It is only accessible by boat. Considered one of Europe’s last wildernesses, this 589 square km (227sq m) reserve has an end-of-the-world feel. Waterfalls thunder down mountains, the midnight sun kisses the ocean, cliffs plummet to the sea and the mighty Drangajökull glacier overlooks the scene.
    NOTE – You must have backcountry camping experience to participate in this expedition – rated moderate to challenging.

          Grizzly bear catching salmon at Great Bear Lodge BC during a guided wildlife tour

          BC WILDLIFE ADVENTURE | GREAT BEAR LODGE

            Embark on one of the world’s top wildlife adventures — as recognized by National Geographic — and witness grizzly bears in their natural habitat at Great Bear Lodge BC.
            
            Tucked beside a pristine salmon river in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, this remote eco-lodge is a dream base for photography and wildlife tours. With only 16 guests hosted at a time, Great Bear Lodge offers an intimate and immersive experience unlike any other. After twice-daily guided bear viewing sessions, return to wilderness-inspired gourmet meals and cozy, eco-friendly comfort.

            While most visitors come for the awe-inspiring grizzly encounters, many leave with a deeper appreciation for the intricate rainforest ecosystem that sustains these great bears.

            This region is home to one of the highest concentrations of coastal grizzly bears in British Columbia. In spring and summer, grizzlies feed on lush estuary grasses and sedges. Come late summer and autumn, the salmon run draws them to the rivers in staggering numbers — a spectacle of raw nature few ever forget. Thanks to their coastal diet, these grizzlies grow larger than their inland cousins.

            Between wildlife tours, guests can join a guided interpretive walk, a scenic boat trip, or simply relax with a book from our extensive natural history library.

            Ready to experience Great Bear Lodge BC for yourself? Contact us to learn more or book your stay.

              Everyone At the Table - Puglia Cooking workshop

              COOKING PUGLIA WORKSHOP | EVERYONE AT THE TABLE

                Join Julie Marr & Francesco Creanza of Everyone at the Table, in 2025 to cook, eat, learn and share in Puglia during this hands-on culinary workshop.
                
                This 4-day workshop is for those people who want to roll up their sleeves and have a hands-on learning experience, making all the traditional foods that Puglia is famous for.

                Mornings will be spent in our workshop kitchen mastering the art of orecchiette pasta making, taralli, cheese making, preserving sotto olio vegetables, wild herb liquors, jams and sweets. We will enjoy long table lunches featuring the fruits of our labours, paired with local wines.
                We have chosen May to host this workshop because there are so many exciting things happening in the fields and at the markets. Wild asparagus and fennel fronds, the first artichokes, fava beans and peas, tender greens, and strawberries all are making the seasonal debut.

                Unlike some of our other workshops, Cooking Puglia is best suited to those who have a passion for cooking and a bit of experience in the kitchen. Most of our time together will focus on choosing the very best ingredients we can find and then using traditional cooking techniques to turn those ingredients into delicious dishes for our long-table meals. After our morning cooking sessions, our afternoons will be spent visiting local farms, foraging for wild herbs used both for culinary dishes and medicinal purposes and visiting a friend’s olive grove to do an olive oil tasting and an aperitivo beneath the trees.

                We hope that this will be an opportunity to learn new recipes and techniques that will inspire you to gather friends and family around the table wherever it is that you call home.

                Upcoming dates: May 3-6th, 2025

                PRESERVING PUGLIA CULINARY WORKSHOP | E.A.T.

                  Join Julie Marr & Francesco Creanza of Everyone at the Table, in 2025 to cook, eat, learn, and share in Puglia during this culinary workshop.
                  Our most in-depth workshop is where we explore the food culture of the South and spend our time with the food artisans and historians that are preserving not just recipes but a very unique way of life. The food we cook comes from recipes passed down to us from our family and friends and we have the opportunity to spend time with, learn from and gather around the table with these special people in the course of this hands-on workshop.

                  We have chosen November to host this workshop because there are so many exciting things happening at the markets with wild mushrooms, sweet olives, artichokes, quince, persimmon, cime di rapa, and other greens are all making their seasonal debut. This is also the season for heading into the olive groves for the annual harvest of the olives and to press them into oil. Witnessing this process and then tasting the new oils a life-changing experience for those who love food and cooking.

                  For four days, we will explore the role that preserving foods plays in maintaining the cultural identity and traditions for the people of Puglia. By visiting with locals who bake the bread, grow and press the olives into oil and tend their flocks, cooking communal meals and eating in small local restaurants we will immerse ourselves in the connection between the land, tradition and contemporary Italian food culture.

                  Preserving Puglia Dates: Oct 29-Nov 1st, 2025

                  Discover a new species of moth - Peruvian Amazon

                  BECOME A CITIZEN SCIENTIST IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON

                    A Rewarding Trip to Peru’s Amazon If you are anything like us Wordly Girlies, you are likely interested in wildlife, conservation and cool, remote locations! One of the things we also always seek out when travelling is how we can support or give back to the communities or places we visit. During a recent trip to the Peruvian Amazon, both me (newbie Jenn here, hello!) and Keri experienced a taste of what it’s like to be a citizen scientist with Rainforest Expeditions.  Located in the remote rainforest along the Tambopata River, ecolodges Posadas Amazonas, Refugio Amazonas and the Tambopata Research Centre offer guests the ability to learn about and take part in wildlife conservation efforts through Wired Amazon projects designed and implemented by Rainforest Expeditions.  Here are 6 super cool projects where anyone can take part! So, we did this exercise in the pouring rain but, hey, that’s the rainforest for you! One of the coolest things about setting up traps is that once home, besides being able to see the footage, volunteers can virtually assist with the tracking and identification program of jaguars and other species via the Amazon Cam Tambopata. Using over 100 camera traps, one can help note jaguar spot patterns from the comfort of home! Spot patterns are unique, much like fingerprints and through this project on Zooniverse, volunteers can choose from a list of identifiers to help them recognize different animals. The more inputs, the better. 4. Become an expert in Harpy Eagle behaviour! If… Read More »BECOME A CITIZEN SCIENTIST IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON
