About

Hello, my name is Susan and my husband and I live in Ontario, Canada. We travel all over with Trum, our stuffed monkey in tow. He is how the name of the Blog came about.

All photos on my Blog and in all my posts are mine. You can view more of my photos in my Photo Gallery on the main page. Of course, any photos of ME were taken by my husband. He loves photography too and has been doing it all his life. He has a wonderful eye when it comes to taking photos and he has a website showcasing his photos.

Our hobbies are photography, traveling, canoeing, hiking, biking, camping and a multitude of other activities. We also love microbreweries, wineries and good food !

Wildlife photography is a passion of mine and I love to get out and see whatever wildlife I can see. We spend a lot of time in Algonquin Park and see a lot of bears and moose and other wildlife. I still get excited when I see a squirrel in our backyard and we have a lot of squirrels!

We love Ontario Provincial Parks; they are the best and we have traveled/camped to over 60 Parks in Ontario which should give you the idea that we are serious about our love for the Parks. We have been to every province in Canada (more than once) including Labrador which is part of the province of Newfoundland/Labrador. We have traveled to approximately 35 US states including Alaska, California, South Dakota, Wyoming, Washington State, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Oregon and more. We have also traveled to about 30 countries internationally including Vietnam, Laos, Hungary, Turkey, France, Mexico, Croatia, Kenya, India, Tanzania,Serbia, Spain…. to name a few.

I spend a lot of time on my Blog so I am thrilled when others enjoy it. I hope you find my travel stories and photographs entertaining and have some fun learning about our travels. You can contact me via comments or go to my Contact page and email me at TrumsTravels@trumstravels.

If you are searching for a post on something in particular, on the right hand side there is a blank Search block and you can type in Paris or Lake Superior or whatever and it will take you to any posts relating to what you were looking for.

I also have a Trums Travels Facebook page and I will post things there in real time when we are traveling. I usually am a couple of months (or more) behind on blogging about our travels as we aren’t home for very long in between trips. I can be found on Instagram at Susan_Guy.

Thanks for reading and taking a look!

P.S.  –  Trum is  a really good ice breaker and it helps us meet new people.  And of course, it makes them laugh, which is a good thing.  You would be surprised how many microbreweries he gets invited in to! 

P.S. AGAIN  – in case you are wondering, I received Trum from my friend Denise.  That was a few years ago and it was decided he would be a good travel companion and lots of fun. 

I have been asked how he got his name so because he lives mostly in our truck and he is a monkey ………TRUck and Monkey put together spell TRUM !  Clever eh?  He is probably the best traveled stuffed monkey in the world!
