Exploring Tallinn: Fairy Tale Houses, Friendly Locals, and a Toy Horse Named Billy

By Hannah Logan | January 29, 2015 | 20

Tallinn had been on my ‘must visit’ list for years. A random place? Probably. Especially considering most people I spoke to at home had never heard of it. But, after hearing about the Baltic city from my uncle in the military, I was pretty set on seeing it for myself. Mainly because he told me…

Reminder: body size and shape is no reflection of Reminder: body size and shape is no reflection of overall health. ⁣ ⁣ ‘Fat’ people can be active and eat well. ⁣ ⁣ ‘Thin’ people can be lazy and life off of junk food. ⁣ ⁣ You never know, and it’s not your place to judge someone’s health and wellness based on whether or not they do/don’t have stretch marks, hip dips, cellulite, or rolls. ⁣ ⁣ It never ceases to amaze me how as soon as I post bikini/swim photos with body positive hashtags, my inbox gets inundated with messages about fitness plans and how to ‘live a healthy lifestyle’ because apparently my body isn’t beach-worthy as it is now. ⁣ ⁣ Well, guess what? ⁣ ⁣ My beach body may never be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. But you best believe that this 🍑 will swim circles around most people any day. ⁣ ⁣ If you have a problem with how someone looks because their body is different than how you *think* it should look, that’s a reflection on you and your insecurities. If you think there needs to be change, maybe you need to start with yourself and reanalyze your values. ⁣ ⁣ Let’s stop being so critical. ⁣ ⁣ Just be kind. ⁣ ⁣ #cottagelife #bodypositivitymovement #honormycurves #curvy #sunsoutbunsout #lakelife #curvywoman #plussizetraveltoo #fatgirlstraveling #curvyandconfident #effyourbeautystandards #canadiangirl #allbodiesaregoodbodies #beachbody #imnoangel #loveyourcurves #slayallday
Today is Canada Day!⁣ 🇨🇦 ⁣ We are by no Today is Canada Day!⁣ 🇨🇦 ⁣ We are by no means a perfect country. We have violence, racism, and inequality too. But I can honestly say after 8 years of travelling and exploring 60 countries, I am beyond lucky to be able to call Canada home. And while I recognize that we have a lot to do moving forward, I am proud to be Canadian. ⁣ ⁣ Side note, trying to take this jumping off the dock photo with the flag (aka exhibit A) was harder than it looked. I ended up taking a video which ended up being nearly 3 minutes long because apparently standing at the end of the dock with a flag is harder than it looks. ⁣ ⁣ Slide to enjoy the following:⁣ ⁣ Exhibit B: fighting the wind which kept twisting the flag into a mess. ⁣ ⁣ Exhibit C: Stella thinking that the flag blowing in the wind is basically something new to chase. ⁣ ⁣ Exhibit D: proof you need to be careful how you hold the flag while wearing a swimsuit or else you end up looking naked. Pretty sure that’s not considered ‘respectful’ in all the flag rules I read. Please note: definitely NOT naked while taking these photos. ⁣ ⁣ 🍁HAPPY CANADA DAY! ⁣🍁 ⁣ #⁣CanadaDay #OhCanada #CanadaDay2020 #Canadiangirl #IAmCanadian #Canadaproud #Cottagelife #Canadianflag #Cottageliving #LakeLife #canada_true #bikinibody #canadianblogger
Just because there’s a global pandemic on doesn’t mean you need to cancel your hot girl summer. ⁣ ⁣ Consider this your friendly reminder that a bikini body is your body + a bikini. No matter how many quarantine snacks you ate. ⁣ ⁣ So, buy a cute new swimsuit and get your butt to the lake/pool/beach (safely and socially distanced of course) and enjoy. We all know that summer is so much better by the water. ⁣ ⁣ #⁣hotgirlsummer #lakelife #cottagelife #cottagedays #canadiansummer #canadiangirl #thickthighssavelives #bikinibody #curvywoman #plussizetraveltoo #globelletravels #fatgirlstraveling #effyourbodystandards #daretowear #loveyourbody #bodypositive #plussizeblogger #allbodiesaregoodbodies #curves ⁣
Cheers to 31 years 🍾⁣ ⁣ After talking about Cheers to 31 years 🍾⁣ ⁣ After talking about it for a month and celebrating with friends this weekend, it’s finally my ACTUAL birthday. ⁣ ⁣ Like everyone else celebrating their birthday during COVID19, it’s not ‘business as usual’ but I couldn’t be more grateful for my friends and family for doing everything to make my birthday weekend special for me. ⁣ ⁣ I’m feeling extra loved which is always a good thing but even more appreciated now given this crazy time. ⁣ ⁣ Despite everything going in the world, I still have big hopes for year 31 and I can’t wait to see what happens. ⁣ ⁣ But first...I’m popping this massive bottle champagne for breakfast. ⁣ ⁣ #birthdaygirl #happybirthday #poppingbottles #champagne #cottagelife #cottageliving #lakelife #quebec #Canadiansummer #summersinCanada #Canadiangirl #birthdaybehavior
“When are you going to settle down?”⁣ ⁣ I’ve heard this question a lot over the past few years, but even more so since I turned 30.⁣ ⁣ People aren’t kidding when they say 30 is this magical number where society feels like women need to stop having fun, find a husband, and start a family.⁣ ⁣ In the past year, I’ve heard the question from family, friends, acquaintances and every damn time I visit my hairdresser. And with my 31st birthday just a couple days away (ahem. It’s Monday) I’m hearing it even more. ⁣ ⁣ The fact that I run my own successful business and have an impressive collection of passport stamps and adventure stories suddenly isn’t good enough for some people. ⁣ ⁣ Not that it’s anyone’s business, but yes, my ideal future plans do involve a family. I’ve always wanted marriage and kids. However, that doesn’t mean I’m going to settle just because I have suddenly reached a certain age. I have high expectations for the people I allow to be a part of my personal life. That’s not going to change. ⁣ ⁣ Besides, who’s to say my future husband lives in Canada?⁣ ⁣ Maybe I find him while travelling. ⁣ ⁣ Maybe I find him somehow through my business. ⁣ ⁣ Hell, maybe I already found him and missed the opportunity. ⁣ ⁣ Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. ⁣ ⁣ The point is, I don’t know what will happen. Nobody does. ⁣ ⁣ But I do know that Mr. Right isn’t just going to fall out of the sky and onto my doorstep. So sitting around waiting and hoping won’t do me any good. Besides, I have way more exciting things to do anyway. ⁣ ⁣ So, I’m just going to keep doing my thing, be happy, and trust that everything will work out how and when it’s supposed to. As we all should. ⁣ ⁣ After all, time stops for no one and life is short. So, you may as well enjoy every minute of it. ⁣ ⁣ #cottagelife #lakelife #Quebec #Canadiansummers #cottagestyle #cottageliving #lakelover #waterbaby #lakedays #canadiangirl #30life #globelletravels #sheisnotlost

If things had played out how they were supposed to If things had played out how they were supposed to, I would be back in Canada now after 14 weeks of adventures. ⁣ ⁣ As we know, I actually only got 10 (amazing) days before the world shut down. ⁣ ⁣ To be honest, it’s a bit of a relief. I used to look at the date and be like ‘today I should be in Tel Aviv’, ‘today I should be exploring Turkey’ ‘today I would sailing in Greece’ etc. ⁣ ⁣ Now that it’s ‘over’ I have nothing to compare to. Because my summers are normally spent back here in Canada anyway, where I can escape to the family cottage and spend my days on the dock or out on a boat. ⁣ ⁣ This year will be a little different. I’m actually moving up there for the summer. I’ve signed a contract for internet so I can work from there meaning my daily commutes will be from the couch to the dock in less than five minutes. Which is a pretty good deal. ⁣ ⁣ I feel a little bit like I’m cheating by doing this. Normally I’m kind of inaccessible up there since the signal is so bad, and use it as a digital detox. But given everything going on right now, I think it’s a perfect plan for the summer. ⁣ ⁣ So, hope you are all ready to see some lake days, boat and jet ski rides, and of course plenty of Stella playing in the water. ⁣ ⁣ This year hasn’t exactly been easy or ideal so far. But here’s to hoping summer is better for all of us. ⁣Do you have summer plans? ⁣ #sailing #boatlife #Greece #sailingadventure #greeksailing #imonaboat #fatgirlstraveling #plussizetraveltoo #sheisnotlost #cycladesislands #greekislands #ilovegreece #ilovesailing #girlslovetravel #womenwhowander #sheisnotlost
Mental health talk: my big smiles aren’t coming Mental health talk: my big smiles aren’t coming as easily these days. ⁣ ⁣ I’m really struggling lately. These past 2 weeks have been extra difficult for me and I don’t feel like my normal happy, positive self. ⁣ ⁣ Instead, I’m lonely. ⁣ I’m sad. ⁣ I’m confused. ⁣ I’m anxious. ⁣ I’m worried. ⁣ I’m unsure. ⁣ ⁣ Its been 87 days of isolation and I feel trapped. ⁣ ⁣ The worst part? I feel guilty for having those feelings because, with everything going on right now, I know how lucky I am. ⁣ ⁣ So then I just end up getting angry with myself. ⁣ ⁣ I tell myself that I need to be stronger. ⁣ ⁣ I tell myself that I need to be tougher. ⁣ ⁣ I feel like I need to suck it up and shut up because I know that some others have it much harder. ⁣ ⁣ But even though my life right now isn’t necessarily bad, it’s nowhere close to my ‘normal’. As a traveller, I’ve always been good at adapting, however, the fact that literally every aspect of my life right now is so uncertain is pretty damn scary. ⁣ ⁣ And I know I’m not alone in feeling that way. ⁣ ⁣ So, for everyone else who is currently in a weird mental place right now- I’m sending you a virtual hug. ⁣ ⁣ I think a lot of us could use those right now. Along with silly memes and maybe a strong drink (or two). ⁣ ⁣ Tomorrow will be better ❤️⁣ ⁣ #greece #meteoragreece #greecelover #visitgreece #sheisnotlost #womenwhowander #fatgirlstraveling #plussizetraveltoo #greekpost #greecetravel #mentalhealthmatters #mainlandgreece #greeksummer
“Instagram is fake”⁣ ⁣ I’ve heard it sai “Instagram is fake”⁣ ⁣ I’ve heard it said a million times. I’ve even said it myself. But a few weeks ago when someone said it to me, I told him he was wrong. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s why. ⁣ ⁣ What kinds of accounts do you follow on Instagram? Probably:⁣ ⁣ Travel accounts with postcard- perfect photos. ⁣ ⁣ Influencers with enviable looks/wardrobes/bodies. ⁣ ⁣ Lifestyle accounts filled with twinkle lights, bright colours, and lush plants.... etc. ⁣ ⁣ Most of these have cute/motivational quotes. ⁣ ⁣ In short, we follow accounts we consider to be beautiful. Why? Because we like looking at pretty things. ⁣ ⁣ Is that bad? No. Appreciating and finding beauty is a good thing. ⁣ ⁣ But when that beauty comes from editing, reshaping, deleting, posing, and staging.... does it not become fake?⁣ ⁣ Now, consider this:⁣ ⁣ For the majority of last week I silenced my voice and instead used my account to highlight the voices of black influencers. ⁣ ⁣ The content that I shared was not pretty. It was violent. It made us feel guilty and uncomfortable. But it was all very real. ⁣ ⁣ By doing that, I lost 70+ followers (bye!!) and my story views dropped by nearly 50%. ⁣ ⁣ How come? ⁣ ⁣ It wasn’t because the followers that stuck with me stopped using IG for the week. They were still there. Still active. But they chose to focus their attention on other things. ⁣ ⁣ The pretty travel landscapes. ⁣ ⁣ The sexy influencers. ⁣ ⁣ The dreamy bedrooms. ⁣ ⁣ They chose- perhaps you chose-to focus on edited and staged content over real content. ⁣ ⁣ Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that’s always a bad thing. Sometimes we need that little escape and I’m as guilty for liking the ‘perfect’ content as much as everyone else. ⁣ ⁣ But, if you are one of those people who scrolls through their feed mindlessly and then wonders why it leaves you feeling so dissatisfied, then maybe it’s time to rethink who you follow and how you use social media. ⁣ ⁣ Because maybe, at the end of the day, it’s not the platform that’s fake. But rather the content that we, as consumers, CHOOSE to follow (& create). ⁣ ⁣ And if that’s the case, then what does that say about us and our values?⁣ ⁣ Just something worth thinking about.
