We are just a tiny speck in this great big world we call home. We need to treat our home with more kindness. Happy Earth Day! #earthday #motherearth #happyearthday #brazil #beautifulbrazil #theurbangypsy
Just over 2 years ago I was lucky enough to travel to the beautiful country of Sri Lanka. There was no shortage of natural beauty but what won me over was the kindness of the Sri Lankan people. Today my deepest condolences go out this this country. ❤️
And here a few more newbies up for grabs... #shoplocal #theurbangypsy #malajewelry #malanecklaces #etsymadeincanada #bycurated
I’ve been busy creating some new Malas. The first is made with Riverstone, Sea Sediment Jasper, a silk tassel and an antique Buddha from Thailand. Second is made with Onyx, Lemon Quartz and stunning Dragon Vein Agate guru pendant. Third Mala is made with Onyx, Grey Crackle Agate, Yellow Howlite and a unique hand carved Ganesha Jade Quartz Guru pendant from India. Direct message me if you want to take one of these one if a kind pieces home 📿 #shoplocal #theurbangypsy #malajewelery #malanecklaces #bycurated #etsymadeincanada
Happy Siblings Day to these two fire crackers! I had to pick this photo because why the hell is Jennifer not wearing pants?! 🤣 I love you guys and want to thank you for wiping my bum back then! ❤️❤️❤️ #happysiblingsday #sisters #throwback #nopants
Oh Rio! Look how you amaze me! Thinking back to sunset on Sugarloaf Mountain. #riodejaneiro #brazil #beautifulbrazil #sunsets #sugarloafmountain #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
I’m really excited to show you the newest design in the Urban Gypsy Collection. Show a little Alberta pride and get your tank or T-shirt now! $35 each ******************************* #theurbangypsy #shoplocal #albertapride #albertacanada #alberta
Nothing like a spring petting zoo in the mall to make your day! Everyone loves a good llama! #llamas #noprobllama #pettingzoo #yeggers #thisisedmonton #theurbangypsy
And the sun always comes out after the storm! One of my favorite places that I visited in Brazil was Paraty. So much character! #whatawonderfulworld #paraty #discoverbrazil #beautifulbrazil #iloveparaty #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
This is another shot of just how beautiful Brazil’s Pantanal is! Mother Nature does not disappoint! #discoverbrazil #whatawonderfulworld #beautifulbrazil #pantanal #mothernature #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
There were soooooo many species of birds in Brazil’s Pantanal. This eagle was pretty cute I have to say! #discoverbrazil #brazil #beautifulbrazil #birdsofinstagram #birdsofprey #pantanal #theurbangypsy
So many amazing moments to share with you from my recent trip to Brazil. This shot was taken while horseback riding in the Pantanal. #brazil #beautifulbrazil #pantanal #calmbeforethestorm #explorebrazil #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
Who’s that speck way out there? That’s me! Just living my best life in Brazil. This amazing backdrop was where we went horseback riding just outside of Paraty. ❤️❤️❤️ #brazil #beautifulbrazil #discoverbrazil #paraty #whatawonderfulworld #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
The enormity of Iguazú Falls is like nothing I’ve ever seen. It goes on and on and even envelopes two countries. It’s obvious why this is a Wonder of the World! #beautifulbrazil #brazil #argentina #iguazufalls #iguacufalls #waterfalls #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
My favorite little town in Brazil was Paraty. It is a protected World Heritage Site and rightly so! #beautifulbrazil #paraty #paratyrj #worldheritagesite #explorebrazil #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
Remember that day when I was back in Brazil? This was on the majestic island of Ilha Grande. No cars...just nature at its finest! #beautifulbrazil #brazil #ilhagrande #islandlife #wanderlust #explorebrazil #theurbangypsy
Yesterday I was fortunate enough to get taken into Rio biggest favela. Rocinha is home to 75 000 people and truly is a town within a city. It is run by drug lords and walking by teenagers holding machine guns and AK 47’s made it all the more eye opening. When you look past the bullet holes there were far more people that greeted us with loving kindness. So grateful for this experience on my last day in Brazil. #streetart #beautifulbrazil #travelbrazil #riodejaneiro #favelas #racinha #theurbangypsy
Carnival 2019!!!!!! I can’t even believe that we were at Rio’s Champions Parade. I have never seen anything so grand and celebratory. The costumes, floats and just the energy inside the Sambódromo was indescribable! #beautifulbrazil #explorebrazil #Riocarnival #carnival2019 #incrediblecarnival #theurbangypsy #wanderlust
Today was a crazy day of many highs! It started with hang gliding over Rio, taking in the most glorious street art and taking a cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain to see the sun set! Rio you are pretty spectacular! #beautifulbrazil #explorebrazil #riodejaneiro #hanggliding #streetart #sugarloafmountain #wanderlust #brazil #theurbangypsy
Off the grid in Brazil’s Pantanal! The Pantanal is the biggest wetland in the world! It is bigger than the size of France! The abundance of birds and other wildlife is insane! #beautifulbrazil #pantanal #explorebrazil #natureatitsbest #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
