Hiking Mount Brunswick — the highest and arguably most humbling peak in Vancouver’s North Shore range.16km, 1,788m total elevation, legs on fire… and views that made it all worth it. 🏔️The trail starts steep and doesn’t let up. Forested switchbacks give way to alpine exposure, and the final scramble to the summit? Intense. But standing above The Lions with Howe Sound behind you — that’s next-level BC magic.What we packed: 🎒 Daypack with chest & hip straps 🥤 2–3L water + electrolytes 🥪 Snacks & lunch (you’ll need fuel) 🧥 Layers — temp drops at the summit 🧢 Hat + sunglasses + sunscreen 🧦 Wool socks & proper hiking boots 🗺️ AllTrails map downloaded offline 🧰 First aid, multitool 🐻Bear spray🦟Bug Spray (they were voracious)This is not a casual hike — but it is one of the most beautiful and rewarding in the region. Big energy, big payoff🇩🇪Wanderung auf den Mount Brunswick – der höchste und vielleicht auch beeindruckendste Gipfel der North Shore Mountains bei Vancouver.16 km, 1.788 Höhenmeter, brennende Beine… und Ausblicke, die jede Anstrengung wert waren. 🏔️ Der Trail beginnt steil – und bleibt es. Waldige Serpentinen führen in offenes alpines Gelände, und der letzte Aufstieg zum Gipfel? Anspruchsvoll. Aber über den Lions zu stehen, mit dem Howe Sound im Rücken – das ist Kanada-Magie auf einem neuen Level.Was wir eingepackt haben:🎒 Tagesrucksack mit Brust- und Hüftgurt 🥤 2–3 Liter Wasser + Elektrolyte 🥪 Snacks & Lunch (Energie ist alles!) 🧥 Kleidung im Zwiebellook – es wird oben kalt 🧢 Mütze, Sonnenbrille & Sonnencreme 🧦 Wollsocken & gute Wanderschuhe 🗺️ AllTrails-Karte offline gespeichert 🧰 Erste-Hilfe-Set, Multitool 🐻 Bärenspray 🦟 Insektenspray (die Mücken waren gnadenlos)Das ist keine gemütliche Wanderung – aber definitiv eine der schönsten und lohnendsten der ganzen Region. Großer Einsatz, große Belohnung.#hellobc #beautifulbritishcolumbia #brunswickmountain #hikingbc #takemoreadventure #getoutdoors #exploremore#bergwandern #wandernmachtglücklich #bergliebe #bergsteigen by @nurturedandnomadic

.I said, “I won’t delve too much into pregnancy books.” 😅One book became two. Two became three. Then another… and another.Safe to say I completely underestimated how much I would enjoy learning throughout this journey.These are the books that have been preparing me for what’s ahead. 🤍Side note: Most of these are also available as audiobooks on Spotify if that’s more your style. 🎧📚 #pregnancybooks #firsttimemom #pregnancyjourney #motherhoodjourney #bookrecommendation by @nurturedandnomadic

.Happy Canada 🇨🇦 Day ❤️It’s incredible how much life can change in just one year.On this day last year, I was four months out of yachting, embracing a slower, land-based life and soaking up a beautiful Canadian summer at our home in British Columbia.We spent our days enjoying paddleboarding, hiking, and dreaming about what the future might hold.Fast forward one year…Im 37 weeks pregnant, we are in my hometown in South Africa and counting down the days until we meet our little boy Can’t wait to take him on adventures with us and watch him discover the world 🌍 #canadaday #britishcolumbiacanada #getoutdoors #lifelately #37weekspregnant by @nurturedandnomadic
