Lorraine and Keith’s Irish Cottages
In the midst of the pandemic's turmoil, Keith and Lorraine embarked on an audacious journey, transforming five neglected Irish cottages into a beacon of hope and renewal. With their travel business in shambles and financial pressures mounting, the couple sold their Canadian home to navigate through the crisis, investing in a future they had yet to see. Armed with Keith's extensive building experience and Lorraine's design flair, aided by friends like Shai Deluca, they navigated unexpected challenges—from hidden sex toys to spider communities and a forgotten fountain in the overgrown yard. Despite obstacles like a major flood, their unwavering commitment turned dilapidated structures into beautiful short-term rentals. This narrative isn't just a renovation story; it's a testament to resilience, community support, and the transformative power of love and hard work, offering a new beginning in the face of adversity.

As Canadians, we often find ourselves looking outward for our next vacation. We hop on planes to Europe, book cruises in the Caribbean, or dream of tropical escapes in the U.S. Sunbelt. But now, more than ever, there is a growing movement to look inward. A groundswell of patriotic pride is building as Canadians seek to support their own, rediscover their home turf, and avoid putting another hard-earned dollar into the American economy.
It’s no secret that political turmoil south of the border has left many Canadians disillusioned. From policy shifts to cultural clashes, it’s become increasingly difficult to separate travel from politics. The result? A rise in mindful travel. A movement. Canadians are banding together to keep their vacation dollars in Canada — and rightly so.
