## Caption

It’s been more than 10 days since I was in Tallinn, Estonia on a hosted journey with @vikingcruises and there’s a part of me that still doesn’t want to let go of that day. But I have to let go and move on to other stories because there are so many to share. Since this was taken, I have had an amazing day at sea on the Baltic, I had an inspiring day in Berlin, wonderful moments at home with @dante.vincent and now some blissful days back up in Canada again with Fairmont Hotels.
.
On paper my life doesn’t look great right now, nor does the situation down in the USA — so many of those things we just don’t talk about because we don’t want to bum anyone out here on social, right — but my heart is full to overflowing as I write this giving thanks for the things I can, and I hope yours is the same as you read this. If it’s not, what can we do to change that?
.
And since I love to give a little history or story with every post, did you know: Estonia is one of the few countries that celebrates two Independence days, February 24 and August 20. The latter celebrates Estonia’s independence after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Estonia100 celebrations refer to the first Estonian independence in 1918. Also, Skype started in Estonia AND many people claim the first Christmas Tree was erected in either Tallinn or Riga.

Thank you @monicasuma for capturing this moment in my gifted @obermeyer coat which kept me warm till the sun was at full strength. So grateful for the brand continuing to want to work with me when I’m the opposite of the typical person who talks about clothes here on IG. It means the world to me. 🇪🇪 #myvikingstory #vikingcruises #tallinnoldtown
