TRAVEL ADVISORY

Travel looks very different right now. It is restricted or not recommended in many parts of the world. While it may not be safe to travel at the moment, I hope the articles on this site provide inspiration for future travel when it becomes safe to do so again. When you do travel, follow recommended guidelines and adhere to all local restrictions and regulations.

Donna Janke tells travel stories through narrative, photographs and personal reflection. For more information see the About page.

Cowichan Bay is North America's first Cittaslow designated community, a cultural trend known as the slow movement. It is one of only four such designated communities in Canada and two in the United States.

I was looking through some old papers and came across these old postcards from one of my favourite cities London, England. One sent to me (Piccadilly Circus) in the late 1970s, one I sent to friends (Trafalgar Square) in the early 1990s, and two I bought for souvenirs (either late 1970s or early 1990s).

New post on the blog about INUA, the inaugural exhibition at Qaumajuq, the new Inuit art centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The diverse collection of works may shatter your preconceptions of what constitutes Inuit art.⁠

This is what you see at the entrance to the exhibit: colourful embroidered wall hangings Four Seasons of Tundra and a mannequin wearing Our Flourishing Culture by Maata Kyak made of silk, embroidery lace, dyed sealskin, beads, and pearls.⁠
