Roaming This Weekend? I add some of my favourite destinations as a weekend escape from real life.

Roaming This Weekend?

ByRoland Bast Updated on

The art of the intentional escape.

Your go-to hub for quick getaways, curated short stays, and spontaneous discovery.

From the rugged Canadian coastlines to the historic, hidden corners of Europe, I curate ideas for exploring nearby cities and regions—ranging from effortless 48-hour trips to deep-dives into seasonal highlights.

How to Use These Guides:
These aren’t just rigid itineraries or packed checklists. They are flexible, visual stories designed to help you:

  • Find the Rhythm: Discover the soul of a destination through its light, culture, and place-based storytelling.
  • Travel Smarter: Use the filters to find guides specific to your current region—whether you’re planning weeks ahead or heading out at the last minute.
  • Linger Longer: Skip the “must-sees” and focus on the moments that actually matter, without the stress of overthinking the details.

My approach to travel photography and narrative has been featured by the CAA Northern 1000 Islands website and Canadian Geographic, bringing an award-winning industry perspective to your personal weekend adventures.
