I was so excited to meet Rob’s best friend from childhood, and his rad girlfriend Amelia. I knew I would like them, but seriously, they were the coolest people ever… and hanging out with them made ME feel like I had been their friend for forever too. And that’s a wicked feeling. I love when…

A summer adventure list for Whistler, British Columbia
With the sun setting on warmer weather and as the snow starts to fall in the mountains, here’s a few short and sweet little missions in the Whistler area that we enjoyed this summer for your bucket list next year! Honestly, that was just a few – we can’t give away all of our spots, but…
British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast and a slower pace of life
It’s not a far jaunt from Whistler to the Sunshine Coast, but when you’re there, you feel like you’re a world away. The pace of life resembles Island life, and sure – you take a ferry to get there, but you’re actually not on an island at all… You’re just on a secluded section on…
exploring the Bay of Fires in Tasmania: red rocks, white sand and the greenest ocean
I had been to the Bay of Fires briefly last year. Just for a taste – a tiny treat. This year, I got to hang around and spend some time getting to know these big, red rocks. We stayed in the most unique place – a family cabin on a salt water bay. It’s shallow…
An island off of an island: Bruny Island, Tasmania
I saw this on Pinterest – The Neck, on Bruny Island, and it immediately became a place we had to see. The good news was that we were already planning on heading down to Bruny to visit a friend who’s an Oyster Farmer on the rural island. We followed the sign that said “Adventure Bay,” and…
ski touring British Columbia’s Elfin Lakes on New Years Eve
I had so many hopes for our NYE trip to Eflin Lakes. But there I was, stuck in a snow bank, crying. Wow, I can be such a baby. (FYI – that’s not me, it’s my friend Steph. But she fell over too, she just didn’t cry. Brave girl.) I knew it would be a…
an intro to cabin ski touring: Duffey Lake Road, British Columbia
I have a knack for thinking I’ll love something before I even try it. Whether it’s word of mouth through a friend who’s tried it, or I’ve seen someone online or on tv do it – I usually have made the decision I’m going to go all in before I’ve given it a go. So…
backyard bliss: Skywalk trail in Whistler
I have never understood the saying “take a hike.” That’s meant to be mean, right? I have only ever found the most epic, awe-inspiring moments while I’ve “taken a hike.” And maybe a few blisters and sore getaway sticks… Anyhow, we moved to the top of Alpine – a neighbourhood in Whistler, and of course…
finding 4WD backroads to fishing spots in Pemberton, British Columbia
I grew up falling out of canoes, watching my dad build make-shift sails from branches, rope and sleeping bags as we cruised through the lakes of Northern Ontario. Sometimes when I close my eyes, I remember lying in the canoe and looking up at the sky, water moving underneath my back, and my dad patiently…
Cirque Lake, British Columbia: paddle-in access only
Those months between the heat of Summer and the snow of Winter are precious, and they’re actually my favourite. Bundling up in warmer layers, the air cooling you down after a good sweat – and the changing colours of Fall in Canada are an extraordinary sight themselves. In search of an afternoon adventure, I stumbled…
making the road trip journey to Fernie, British Columbia
I happen to be part of this brigade of babes that also date mountain bikers. They are beautiful (as already stated by their “babe” status), and I enjoy my time hanging out with them greatly. So, we all decided upon hearing that our boyfriends would be racing at the BC cup in Fernie as a…
cliff jumping in North Vancouver’s Lynn Canyon
If you’ve been to Vancouver in the summer (or any season for that matter) and haven’t been to Lynn Valley Canyon, you’ve missed some kind of boat. Situated nowhere near the downtown core, yet somehow totally accessible to the general public, lies this oasis of blue swimming pools and cliff jumps. We have on our…
