In the spirit of my recent posts about plus-size representation – or lack thereof – among some activewear brands, I decided to contact my favorite activewear brand for a supreme plus-size plea. I shall name… Adidas. ►►►
Following my recent post about brands selling plus-size clothing without actually SHOWING the clothes, I did get some “answers”. Or maybe I should call that “replies” because in all cases, not much is actually answered. Or maybe I should call that “replies” because in all cases, not much is actually answered. ►►►
With a new, steaming airline mess every week, it was just a matter of time before a “plus-size flying” related scandal emerged. And so it came. Last week. ►►►
Well, it’s sure was a busy month of April in the travel news, and that is why I decided to bring back the “plus-size travel news in bulk” concept this week! From upcoming collaborations to the United Airlines’ latest debacle, without forgetting new gear, like Vaude backpack and the Happy Air Sofa, here are a few news I considered worth mentioning…! ►►►
The following items are small… but also incredibly versatile and useful! In their own way, they will save you so much time, trouble and backpack space. So you can stop worrying and fully enjoy your time away from home! ►►►
Last Sunday, The Plus-Size Backpacker turned FOUR! At that age, a blog is a bit like a late teenager/young adult: it knows relatively well where it’s heading but remains open to change if opportunity knocks (or necessity requires it). On the other hand, it still has this desire to please and simultaneously wants to prove its purpose to the whole world, possibly in a flashy, rebellious, non-traditional way! ►►►
So I spent last weekend at the Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show, thanks to the organization who invited me to be an official blogger for the event! I had a GREAT time. From the numerous (over 200 !) exhibitors to the Paddlers’ Paradise pool, there was so much to see! Now I want to start all sorts of new activities and hike all over… ►►►
A bunch of stuff happened – or is happening soon – since my last post and during the month of March, so many things that are of interest to us, and I wanted to share them with you, so here it is, in no particular order… ►►►
You probably already noticed that until mid-March, I had the “Official Blogger” badge of the National Women’s Show on the blog for a few weeks. The event took place last weekend (March 17-18-19, 2017) at the Palais des Congrès, downtown Montreal, and I was there, thanks to my friend Clorissa who tagged me in their Facebook post saying they were looking for bloggers to join their blogging team! ►►►
Posting a new Travel Top 10 is always so exciting for me! In these posts, I feel like I’m getting to the core of what made me a backpacker, and every time, I sincerely hope I get to convince at least one of you to come to the (travel) light side. ►►►
