Leaving on a jet plane

Here we go again, ladies. Packing my bags, because tomorrow afternoon Maja and I are heading off to a conference in....

 

 St.John's Harbour (via) 

.... St. John's, Newfoundland!

What is this place I speak of? Well, for one, it's an island (actually the world's sixteenth largest island) and it's the closest Canadian province to Europe! The island is also home to some of the world's largest and most accessible seabird colonies in North America AND there are more than 29 types of marine mammals in the water surrounding the island. What does this mean? Looks like I might be seeing me some whales and puffins this weekend!!

Exciting!!!

Maja and I are both crossing my fingers that the rain holds out so we can get our butts out on a boat tour to see some of this stuff! We are arriving a few days before the conference starts to give us plenty of  time to explore and see what Canada's East Coast is all about. And by this I mean, time to eat as much lobster as possible.

Follow along on instagram (shampel) if you want to see what we're up to! See you back here next week :)
