I thought I had an idea of what the Great Ocean Road would be like. You know, Pinterest does a good job of telling you what to do and see, and when you travel throughout Australia you hear so many different things about the magnificent drive. “Don’t miss the apostles!” “Stop and stay somewhere along…

We have had an epic launch to our winter season in Whistler, and being able to get up and go out exploring on these mountains via two planks every day, is an extraordinary experience.
what it’s like to live a mountain life in Whistler, British Columbia
*Sigh* I live in a wonderful place. Everywhere your eyes land there are beautiful mountain cabins and festive twinkle lights. The moment you drive into this town you feel a weight off your shoulders and a breath of that fresh alpine air. I have so many favourite spots, already – after only a year. One of…

Hiking British Columbia’s Joffre Lakes in the snow
New years eve – a day when everyone reminisces on what the year before brought (and sometimes what it didn’t bring…) and everyone resolves to make changes in the year ahead. …But why? Why not live a life that you love all the time? A life that you don’t have to resolve to change every…
Searching for surf in Canada at Sombrio Beach in British Columbia
If we haven’t done something somewhat adventurous in a few weeks, we get an itch. If we don’t scratch it, it just sits there and bugs us until we finally cave and satisfy the urge. I feel so lucky to have this guy in my life – he gets it. I sway him a lot…
Canoeing the Mackjack River into Raft Cove on Vancouver Island
The Mackjack river is a hidden gem. But let’s be clear right off the bat – it is not for the faint of heart, and definitely requires a certain kind of preparedness to enjoy it the most. As a kid, I grew up canoe tripping down rivers and across lakes, so when Rob mentioned he…
A highway 99 road trip from Whistler to Marble Canyon in beautiful British Columbia
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 helicopter-in Secret Lake picnic in British Columbia’s Costal Mountains
Being in a helicopter is downright awesome. Having an exclusive playtime and picnic at a helicopter in only alpine lake the colour of blue that just simply hasn’t been defined yet? …well I’m not even sure I can scramble words together well enough to describe that. I was lucky enough to have the experience of…

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…
An overnight hike at Whistler’s Russet Lake, in beautiful British Columbia
Basically every time something really cool happens, it happens spontaneously. Typically, I’m a planner – I like to know when I’m doing something and how I’m going to do it so I can have something really epic to look forward to. I always knew that I wanted to hike to Russet Lake. A doozie in…
friending | people find you
….”Can I be your friend?!” It happened just like that – like the good old days. A single question posed just the same as first grade, changed the whole summer for me. We were sitting around a large table in the basement of a Mexican restaurant for a friend’s birthday, Stef put her utensils on…
