    Destination: Harriet Tubman – Cayuga, New York
    Feb 24 2025
    Destination: Harriet Tubman Cayuga, New York Harriet Tubman & Cayuga, New York are both a story of resilience, commitment and dedication. Harriet Tubman chose Cayuga, New York as her home Choosing the city of Auburn as the place to settle with her family. After working on the Underground Railroad, she moved to Cayuga County. Although she is best known for her daring missions to free enslaved people via the Underground Railroad, her work as an activist in her new hometown is one not as well known. In her later years, Tubman settled in Cayuga County, NY, with her family. She continued to fight for justice, dedicating her life advocating for civil rights, women's suffrage, and providing care for those in need. Tubman's great, great, great grand-niece Deanna Stanford Walz shared, "Harriet was courageous to put her life in danger to not only be a spy in the armed forces but also to go back to Maryland to bring family and friends up north and into Canada; that's so courageous to care so much about your people to put your own life in danger to set them free and take care of them." On this show, Deanna talks with Annita about her great, great, great grand aunt and how she was dedicated to helping others. Also, during the Civil War, Tubman was a nurse, cook, and spy for the Union Army. She played a critical role in the Combahee River Raid in 1863, guiding Union forces to liberate over 700 enslaved people in South Carolina. She is the first woman in U.S. history to lead an armed military operation. As an activist and humanitarian she established the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged, assisting elderly and formerly enslaved people. She became an advocate for women's suffrage, aligning with leaders like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Her speeches inspired many, as she linked the struggles of Black Americans with the broader fight for gender equality.

    Destination: Adventure Canada Expedition Cruises

    Destination: Adventure Canada Expedition Cruises Adventure Canada Expedition Cruises let you go exploring the Arctic and Inuit towns offering a unique and enriching experience, combining stunning landscapes with the opportunity to learn about the rich cultural heritage of the Inuit people. I had a chance to travel with Adventure Canada Expedition Cruises on their Heart of the Arctic itinerary. There were vast tundras, icy fjords, glaciers and the polar nights were filled with bright stars. Wildlife included polar bears, whales and migratory birds nesting and circling the rocky sea side, making our expeditions extraordinary and spectacular. Adventure Canada takes you on a cultural experience. Visiting the Inuit villages and towns were a great way to learn about the traditional practices such as hunting, fishing, and dog sledding. I had a chance to see artists working with tricot carvings... right in front of you. Artists making beadwork clothing and jewelry. So much of what they use is locally sourced materials like bone, ivory and sealskin. Community Life on Adventure Canada Expedition cruises is an opportunity to visit with close-knit communities and see how they adapt to extreme weather conditions, learn about day-to-day life, try local foods including seal, caribou, Arctic char and if you're lucky a little taste of whale. Visit their website - Adventurecanada.com Bring along your travel insurance too - Allianz Travel Insurance Take a look at the photos below for a view of life on a journey with Adventure Canada. The photos can only slightly capture the beauty, the wonder and the amazing time sailing through the Arctic. The cold breezes on your face while watching waterfalls, the spectacular luckiness catching an iceberg shifting and turning, spotting a polar bear swimming along the shore. It is all so unbelievable and breathtaking. It is a dream trip and one to put top of your list for your next adventure. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy the photos.
