Ryan gets in touch with his inner child on a playground in Bruges.
Ryan and Vanessa would like to wish all the readers of TurnipseedTravel a very Merry Christmas, a safe and happy holiday season, and all the very best for 2014. Travel will always have its ups and downs but no matter where we are or what we are doing, we always try to take the time to have a little fun and celebrate the everyday joys of life. Here are some of our biggest smiles from 2013!

Travel to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and discover a mighty Maritime spirit! Lunenburg is famous for being a port town. Charming Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. This designation protects the town's rare architecture and civic design, which is one of the best example of a planned British colonial settlement in Canada. The renowned racing schooner, The Bluenose (and it's successors) was built in the Lunenburg ship building docks.
Together with it's equally charming neighbour, Mahone's Bay, Lunenburg is a beautiful day trip from Halifax or the perfect place for a weekend escape. We try to visit Lunenburg every time we visit Nova Scotia and, as you can tell, indulge in many opportunities to practice our photography skills! A touch of the Caribbean in Norfolk County These are real palm trees! They are transplanted to an indoor location each winter. 201 years ago, Port Dover (or Dover Mills, as it was then known) was at the heart of the action in the war of 1812. Fortunately, modern visitors receive a much warmer welcome than the American troops experienced all those years ago! Today, Port Dover is an affordable, diverse, beautiful place to spend a weekend or even a whole week. The town has a fun, funky, young, vibrant edge to it and, between the sandy beaches, the public art, and the neat shops, it's possible to enjoy a value packed visit without ever feeling a budgetary pinch.
Bikes are everywhere in Ireland.
Inside Bunratty Folk Park Village in Bunratty, County Limerick.
Ireland is such a beautiful country; you can find photographic inspiration on every corner. We loved capturing bicycles against so many different backdrops - from modern, bustling street corners in central Dublin, to the outside decor of County Limerick's most famous pub, to the centuries-old stone walls of tiny Bunratty village. We hope you enjoy Ireland's beauty as much as we did!
Kingston will always hold a special place in my heart. Kingston is home to many Martello Towers. Kingston will always hold a special place in my heart. I lived in Kingston for 4 years as a student at Queen's University (as did Ryan, although our paths didn't cross) and many of the skills I needed for travel were developed there. Skills like the ability to read a map, discipher a bus schedule, wield a set of chopsticks, make online travel reservations, and pack a mean suitcase. I also started my first blog in 1999 - which was short-lived, thanks to my dubious IT skills - and then a second in 2001 - which eventually died down when I was on the road.
