Peggy’s Cove
A trip to Nova Scotia would not be complete without driving to Peggy’s Cove. We have made this drive every time we have visited this province, and each time it feels just as special.
The road itself begins to set the tone. As we leave the city behind, the landscape opens up and the air shifts. By the time we arrive, we are greeted with smooth granite rocks stretching out towards the Atlantic, with waves moving steadily against the shoreline.
At the edge stands the lighthouse at Peggy’s Point. First lit in 1915, it has guided ships along this rugged coastline for over a century and has become one of the most recognized images in Canada. It feels perfectly placed.
The rocks are worn smooth by time and water, shaped by glaciers thousands of years ago. The ocean, in contrast, is always in motion. Tucked into the village is a small post office, a reminder that Peggy’s cove is not just a place people visit, but a community that has lived and worked along this coastline for generations.
Peggy’s Cove is not a place filled with noise, but one that draws you in through its simplicity. This is a place we like to return to no matter how many times we have made the journey.

Triple Natural Bridge
Along the rugged northern coastline of Aruba, the landscape changes dramatically. The calm, clear waters of the island’s beaches give way to something far more powerful, wind, waves, and rock shaped over time. It is here that we came across what is known as the Triple Natural Bridge. This formation is a series of smaller limestone […]
Marx-Engels Forum
In a quiet green space in Berlin, we came upon the Marx-Engels Forum. There is no grand staircase, or towering pedestal. The monument is at ground level, integrated into the park. Karl Max is seated and beside him stands Freidrich Engles. One seated, one standing. One reflective, one present. To understand why they are here, […]
