🚗🍂Your Vancouver Island Fall Plan


Vancouver Island View

Fall on the Island is my happy place. Moody mornings, golden maples, quiet beaches, and that first excuse to order something cinnamon-spiced. (No pumpkin-spice for this girl).

This week I’ve got three goodies for you: a brand-new Fall Itinerary, a playful list of haunted places (it’s that time!), and an ebook deal you’ll want to grab before it disappears.

5-Night Fall Itinerary

Think scenic detours, salmon-run lookouts, forest walks, and storm-watching cozy-ups. I put this together so you can see a lot without rushing.


Local Haunts

Is it even October without a good ghost story? From creaky halls to eerie piano music, these are the Island spots where history gets… lively.


Ebook Sale

If you love the story behind the stones, this one’s for you. It's all about Victoria's architecture, legends, and a few lingering spirits woven into self-guided walks.

Halloween treat: Take $3.00 off with code BOO


If you try the itinerary, hit reply and tell me your favourite stop. I'd love to hear what stood out for you. And if you bump into something inexplicable on that haunted list… You have to spill the tea. 😉

No matter where you decide to roam, have a fantastic long weekend. And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 🦃
