A diary of this year.
Canmore Summer & UBCO
It’s been a while! Small update for everyone on my summer; I was working in Canmore with Chinook Rafting as their off-river assistant. The position entails checking guests in for their rafting trip, helping out with gear, occasionally doing “bus chats” where you explain how to fit lifejackets and helmets properly and give some background…
Home Again
A lot has changed in the past few months. I finished out my season at Sunshine with amazing experiences and even better friends, and I am now moving onto the next chapter. I spent my last few weeks at Sunshine hitting park laps, learning new tricks (trying not to kill myself in the process), and…
Rocky Mountain Living
I am coming up on three months living in the Rockies. Anyone who follows my instagram has seen endless photos of mountain ranges, sunrises and powder days and I promise they will keep coming. I am working as a lifty here at the resort which at times can be tedious but the perks are amazing.…
Sunshine
I’ve been MIA for the last few months trying to get settled into my new job, so here is a little update! After my time in Lake Superior I went out to Kamloops, BC to visit my brother and his housemates. I ended up staying for three weeks and had the best time. The change…
Dino Park
After Sleeping Giant, I started my drive out to Alberta. It took me two full days of driving (10-11 hours) to get through Manitoba and Saskatchewan and on my third day I headed to Dinosaur Provincial Park. The park is about 45 minutes off the Trans Canada Highway through farmland and prairies. I had never…
Sleeping Giant
I’ve been updating the blog the past few days now that I have some reliable wifi and a place to charge my laptop. The last few weeks have been amazing. After Lake Superior Provincial Park I headed northwest along the Trans Canada Highway and up to Thunder Bay. The weather for those few days were…
Solo: My time in Superior
My first solo trip felt like I’d been doing it all my life. In a way I guess I had, only I’d always done it with friends and family every time, never alone. All the steps are the same no matter who you’re with; you head out, arrive at your campsite, pitch your tent and…
Killarney
I spent my first night in the van in Killarney Provincial Park, a spot very similar to Algonquin Park except quite a bit smaller. The park itself has one main campground at George Lake which is where I stayed for the night. It has a small beach with a trailhead directly opposite and all the…
Building the Van.
After I got my van in June, I imagined starting my building process right away and having it all finished within a few weeks. Of course, my organization and time management skills worked against me and I only just began building my design at the end of August, but the process ran fairly smoothly nonetheless.…
The Plan.
Looking back on the past two years my plans have changed countless times. Originally after graduation I had decided to apply for a school called Class Alfoat, an insanely cool program that caters to grade 12, gap year, and first year university students. Class Afloat accepts around 60 students to live on a tall ship…
