The truth is difficult for most. Some spend their whole lives running from it, embarrassed or ashamed, constantly putting on airs in order to live up to some perceived expectations passed down through the generations. Truth and it’s bi product, freedom, comes with the realization that the masses have it wrong. Challenge yourself to be brave and face the music. . . . . . . #canolafields #alberta #watertonlakesnationalpark #cloudscape #roadtrip #crosscanadaroadtrip #adventure #truth #vanlife #vanlifediaries #solotraveler #prairiestyle #monetsky

Horse therapy is apparently a thing. 🐴 🧘‍♂️ Shout out to Summer the horse who helped contribute to one of my best morning memories of all time.

Had a great time playing around in the canyons at Drumheller. The vast and quiet emptiness leading up to it. And then all of the sudden it gives away unto these interesting rock formations and eventually dropping into deep canyons I never expected to see in my own country that I thought I knew so well. Finding ancient tree stumps that are 75 million years old was a small consolation for all the failed archeological digs as a child, in my back yard, trying to get China. Was it just my parents who told me I’d end up there if I kept on digging? . . . . . . . . #drumheller #dinosaurland #albertabadlands #badlands #horsethiefcanyon #explore #crosscanadaroadtrip #roadtrip #crosscanadaadventure #covidhair

I acknowledge the shoulders upon which I stand that provided the opportunity for me to live the life I live. I’m thankful everyday. My most prized possessions in this world are my relationships with others and the memories I carry forward, like this one in the badlands of Alberta. . . . . . . . #badlands #alberta #albertabadlands #drumheller #dinosaurcapitaloftheworld #dinosaurs #drumhelleralberta #crosscanadaroadtrip #crosscanadaadventure #canadianroadtrip #hiking #hikingadventures

Sometimes you just want to hit pause and savour a moment. But time is always moving indiscriminately. Best you can do is appreciate and cherish them them for what they are. Something to reflect on when the going gets tough. Like wind over tall grass each blade a story unto itself. I gather them up like treasures and place them in a box labeled ‘For later use’. . . . . . . . #crosscanadaroadtrip #watertonlakesnationalpark #westfalia #volkswagenwestfalia #albertacanada #covidroadtrip #viewsfordays #tallgrass #watertonnationalpark #watertonlakes #landscapephotography

Another time another place. This is three years ago almost to the day as I was about halfway through a 10 month road trip around the USA. I was a little more clean cut and a tad less experienced but otherwise same ol’ guy. Still loving my @yeti cooler. Sifting through the content of my solo adventures provides all the fulfillment I could ever need in this life. My heart is full of love for all of it, the characters, the landscapes, the highs and the lows and of course....Oscar. Maybe I should get a haircut? 😂😂whaddaya think? . . . . . . #roadtrip #usaroadtrip #vanlife #westfalia #volkswagenwestfalia #mexicanshirts #malibu #getbusyliving #yeticoolers #yeti #vuarnetsunglasses

The halfway point of the trip and the furthest west I could get. Sitting at home during the early days of this pandemic I could only dream of being here. Almost everyone asks me what the highlight of the trip was. It’s like everyone wants to skip the journey and arrive at a destination. I don’t play favourites but If I was going to pick a winner, this day would be one of the nominees. . . . . . . . . #surfing #tofino #vancouverisland #westcoast #wetsuit #coldwatersurf #longboard #longbeachtofino #crosscanadaroadtrip #crosscanadaadventure #getbusyliving #onelife #surftrip #journey #journeyman

If you’re road tripping across Canada you can’t not stop here. It’s absolutely breathtaking and fairytale kind of stuff. If you’re lucky, like I was, you can come early in the season and avoid all the crowds. Either that or go as soon as it opens during a pandemic. You pick. Lake Louise certainly lived up to its reputation. Imagine being the first person to stumble upon this landscape?? 😳🤯 . . . . . . #crosscanadaroadtrip #crosscanada #lakelouise #canadianrockies #getbusyliving #onelifeliveit #onelife #patagonia #stancesocks #lakelouisecanada #hikingadventures

I love making healthy meals in the van. It’s a small space but that just makes it easier to cook. You’re inches away from whatever you need. No wasted steps or unnecessary movement. It’s an efficient and beautiful lifestyle that teaches you to do more with less and appreciate what you have. No space or items wasted. Who wants to join me for this meal? . . . . . . #vanlife #vegetariansoup #searedchicken #healthyeating #volkswagenwestfalia #westfaliacamper #vanlifediaries #vanchef #vancooking #lifeontheroad #crosscanadaroadtrip #roadtripping #crosscanada

We stopped in to visit this #oldfriend (who recently celebrated a birthday...happy belated!) in #castlegarbc for a couple nights. We basically used him for showers and laundry. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but it’s really a great feeling to see your friends living well! Thanks for the hospitality @cmacfishtales and @htsneaks 🙏🙏🙌🙌 . . . . . . #crosscanadaroadtrip #roadtrip #westfalia #vanlife #oldfriends #volkswagenwestfalia
