Garibaldi Provincial Park | Winter Camping on the Lake
Song in Headphones: Place to Be For years, Garibaldi Lake has been on my hiking to-do list. In the summer, it draws many people near and far; I mean, why wouldn’t it. As soon as you complete your descend to the lake, the vast enclosed body of water takes you back. It’s massive, blue and incredibly…
3 Days in Tofino | Canada’s Surfer’s Paradise
The town of Tofino situates itself on the west coast of Vancouver Island. It’s nestled at the base of the Clayoquot Sound and opens up to the vast pacific.

Joffre Lakes Provincial Park | Camping Around Surreal Beauty
The beautiful Joffre Lakes are located just outside of Pemberton, British Columbia. Its serene beauty will take you away. For years, Joffre Lakes has been a dream backpacking trip I’ve wanted to do.

Wells Gray Provincial Park | Canoeing Murtle Lake: Pt. 2

Wells Gray Provincial Park | Canoeing Murtle Lake: Pt. 1
Song in Headphones: Renegades A Prologue | It’s 5:30 am. Peeled out of my sleeping bag, I crawl out of my tent; refreshed, awake and grateful. The sun and the beautiful swainson’s thrush was my alarm this morning. It’s crisp outside, almost cold; cold enough to throw on a fleece. I look out onto the…
Joshua Tree National Park | A Day of Endless Exploration
Joshua Tree National Park located in southern-mid California consists of 794,000 acres of protected beauty. The Park itself is situated right where the Mojave and Colorado Deserts converge. I think the park’s authenticity come from it’s biological diversity between the two deserts. They are both incredibly unique and are home to it’s own kind of plants…
Garibaldi Provincial Park | Welcoming 2015 on the Elfin Trail
I think it’s safe to say that Garibaldi has occupied a part of my heart; particularly the Elfin Lake trail. I snowshoed this trail back in February 2014 with the similar group of close friends. This time around a few of us attempted the glorious recreation of cross-country skiing.
Visiting Schilthorn: The name’s Bond…Charlotte Bond…
When you look at a map of Switzerland, the Swiss Alps sit nicely along the south end of the Country. So far during my time in Switzerland, I have spent majority of it around the northern section — near the Basel area. This morning we branched off and headed south! To Interlaken it was — with a quick stop to…
Day Trips from Bologna you should do!
When I first started researching Bologna, I had come across multiple websites/blogs that told me to venture out and take as many day trips as possible. I knew looking on the map and seeing how close these great towns were; a day trip couldn’t hurt!
