About

Hi! I’m Vanessa, a French-Canadian working in communications in Ottawa, Canada. I launched this blog in French a few years ago because I’m passionate about traveling, hiking and exploring and I wanted to share my experiences. Not that long ago, I decided that translating my blog would be a great way to reach more people who also share my passions!

“Au-delà du paysage” means Beyond the scenery in French. Because that is how I am trying to travel. By taking the time to learn more about the places I visit. I am a fan of slow travel, which means that I like to spend a lot of time in one place rather than accumulating destinations. And I do not hesitate to travel solo occasionally.

I have a preference for forgotten, unknown or unusual places and for the trails that make me take beautiful hikes.

As I have a full-time job, a boyfriend, a house, and a dog, I don’t travel as often as I would like to, therefore, I also try to spend time exploring my own country!

You can contact me by sending me an email. You can also follow me on Instagram, on Twitter and Facebook.
