Not an entirely terrible place to go for a hike. 🥾 ❤️🙏🙌. Lots of people ask me questions about this trip. They seem perplexed by my effort to drive all the way across the country only to spend a few days surfing in Tofino before turning around to drive all the way back. My reply is always the same. It’s the journey not the destination that fuels me. I love exploring and seeing new places. I am rarely able to chose a favourite because everyday I fall in love again. This was a pretty epic day though I must say! . . . . . . . #hiking #albertacanada #malignecanyon #jasperalberta #jaspernationalpark #crosscanada #roadtrip #crosscanadaadventure #adventure #wandering #walkabout #shameless #natureheals #getbusyliving #onelifetolive #rockymountains #canadianrockies #hike #journeyman #journey

Feeling really grateful to be able to spend #canadaday🇨🇦 on an #epic #crosscanada #roadtrip , visiting old friends from all over the country while making new ones on the fly. Was lucky with the timing of this visit to #jaspernationalpark as it had just reopened and the #highway between #banffnationalpark and #jasper was unusually quiet.....as you can clearly see from these images.

People always ask me how I manage to keep in shape on the road? I wonder how I could not? With all this incredible terrain for hiking/biking you really have a hard time deciding where you want to go and what you want to do. I wish I could do all of them but unfortunately, in life, you have to make some choices. That’s always been a bit of a sticking point for me for some reason. This was a nice little jaunt. Who else knows the little secret to be found at the end of this one? . . . . . . . #hiking #hikealberta #crosscanadaroadtrip #crosscanada #roadtrip #adventure #albertacanada #canmore #heartcreektrail #icebreakermerino #covidhair #hockeyhair

And the hits just kept coming on this #crosscanadaroadtrip as we made our way through the #canadianrockies towards the west coast. Oscar still playing along....so far at least. . . . . . . . #crosscanadaadventure #roadtrip #vanlife #getbusyliving #westfaliacamper #westfalia #vanagon #volkswagenvan #crosscanada #roadtripping #rockymountains #canadianrockies

I love meeting people and being social but there’s this part of me that needs to wander off to be alone. I crave loneliness and what that feeling creates inside me. Turning down this empty dirt road was not a conscious decision. I felt compelled to do so. Travellers intuition or a lucky guess? Either way I keep ending up where I’m meant to. . . . . . . . #vanlife #westfalia #dirtroad #saskatchewan #prairie #emptyspaces #plains #roadtrip #crosscanadaadventures #crosscanadatour #volkswagenwestfalia

All these years I’ve spent wandering other countries and it took a pandemic for me to discover my own. I’ve been to the northern parts, the eastern and western before but it’s the places in between that I find most astounding. . . . . . . #vanlife #crosscanada #roadtrip #northernontario #batchawannabay #lakesuperior #crosscanadaadventures #vanlifediaries #adventuretime

Flying high on the road. Nothing makes me happier than an adventure. I know that my choices in life can sometimes appear immature or unwise but I think I’ve managed to live comfortably on the edge. No security, nothing holding me back. Make a bit of money. Go on an adventure. Make a little more, go again. It’s simple. I can’t seem to end the cycle because it makes me feel so alive. Traveling through northern Ontario I’ve been lucky to have met so many great people. They keep steering me in the right direction so it seems. . . . . . . . . #northernontario #roadtrip #crosscanada #vanlife #westfalia #volkswagenvanagon #vanlifediaries #vistas #crosscountryroadtrip #roadtrippin #manatoulinisland #cupandsaucertrail #adventuretime #covidtimes

Feeling free. First night on the road and first stop in Georgian Bay. The guy in this photo is unaware of the fact that in three nights he’ll be sitting on a beach in #northernontario enjoying a lovely evening with a campfire while typing these words. That’s what I love about getting on the road. You never know how it’s gonna go. One thing I’ve learned is that the road won’t lead you to happiness as that must be cultivated from within. I found myself with 5 weeks of time and, armed with a pleasant disposition complete with good vibes and a thirst for adventure, all I could see myself doing was driving around our beautiful country spreading it around to the people and places I encountered....from a safe distance of course. Follow the path and pick up the clues that lead you to where you were meant to be. It’s the people who will lead you there. Not your technology. . . . . . #adventuretime #roadtrip #vanlife #spreadthelove #journeyman #cottagelife #georgianbay #goldenhour #canoeing #lakelife #crosscanada #volkswagenvanagon #westfalia #covidhair

Some days you’re a little rusty. Shaky. Unsteady. But in that unsteadiness you find new depths. And even stopping to laugh at your self along the way and realize that it doesn’t matter. Say sweet things to yourself. Entertain a supportive and loving internal dialogue and you will discover that you’ll carry that love forward through your day. Passing it on to friends and strangers. Be patient. Do nothing. Do everything. Just be happy. . . . . . . . #yogaflow #mendoingyoga #yogaman #broga #menwhoyoga #mindfullness #yogapractice #practiceyoga #hipsandhammies #yogamen

I’ve been watching this really cool show the past couple of nights. It’s quite #powerful and #illuminating. You don’t need any technology or memberships to view it, just visual access to the sky. It airs roughly once a month and although it’s impact on the populace is widely debated I think we can all agree that it’s beauty is quite captivating. . . . . . . . #fullmoon #moonchild #moonlight #moonphotography #moonstruck #nightsky #nightphotography #moonphases #moon #fullmoonnight

I forget if it’s #thirstythursday or #throwbackthursday so I just covered both bases. I think it’s fair to say that I don’t hate #outdoorshower . . . . . . . . #costarica #santateresa #jungleshower #outdoorshowers #tbt
