One blonde inspiring the world through travel, adventure, bad jokes, mediocre story-telling and love of being off the grid.

Who is this Girl? |
I was one of those girls that laughed off awkward moments, joked around till the wee hours of the morning and practically fell off my chair when college applications came around. So I did some solid research and ticked the box for Print Journalism - story telling was in my nature. That ship sailed, and no pun intended, but after school I just needed to get out of town - so I jo

ined this thing called Yachting. Somewhere between my hectic travelling, a broken food and a desk job, I'd had enough and followed the all-Ontario dream and moved out West to Whistler, British Columbia. Climbing mountains is my passion, but they make your feet itchy to discover other mountains, go figure. So here I am...still traveling, still not sure what I want to be when I grow up, still avoiding the seriousness of life and still pretending that everyone else doesn't have it together, too.

A throw back, and a love letter, to when I had two working knees ✌🏼😂😭

Dear knees,

We used to do some pretty amazing things…
You led us up (several) mountains.
You landed some questionable jumps, stayed up right on slippery logs and carried more than your fair share of camping gear.
You hiked, biked, ran, skied, leapt, swam, paddled without care or hesitation.
You held beer cans during our floats.
You held your own when my fur babies wished to go one way, and the rest of me did not.
You could bend and straighten without thought.
You allowed me to, discreetly, squat in the woods.
We ran to catch flights, sunsets and client meetings.

Sure, you may have been scraped, bumped, tired, and at times, questioned the brain calling the shots. But most importantly, we were a team, not constantly at war.

I’d love to see us work seamlessly together again one day - whenever you’re ready - but preferably sooner than later.

With hope, lots of physio, an upcoming surgery, and love…

Your impatient human ✌🏼

Ruins, beaches and cenotes
Part Two
📍 Chichén-Itzá > Tulum 🚙

This was my fifth time to Mexico, third time road tripping and second time to this particular area. Every time we go back I fall more and more in love with this place.. and not just because of the margaritas and tacos, although that doesn’t hurt 🫣

Descent.

Ask anyone, and they will tell you hiking and camping with me is a wild ride, and this one was no exception 😂⛺️

Views from my tent ✨
I feel incredibly fortunate to have explored so many unique locations by vehicle, plane, hot air balloon, boat, or my personal favourite, by foot. Also known to many as hiking, this method of travel not only allows you to truly slow down and take in your surroundings, but it’s a great form of respectful, low-trace travel that allows those who believe in ‘earning the view’ to get their nature-reward 🙋🏼‍♀️
I often get asked “where’s the best place to [insert camp related noun here]”, and while I can’t always answer that - the one thing I’ve learned is that you should never put off exploring tomorrow what you could be exploring today 🌎
Life is too short, go and enjoy nature’s playground while you still can!
