I’m always happiest when I’m active, and tend to adapt well to my surroundings, but I gotta be honest. I’d trade snow and ice for sand and surf any fricken day. . . . . . . #surfing #bali #canggu #oldmansbali #waves #indosurf #canggubali #surftrip #bali2019 #longboard #beachlife

This warm weekend felt like summer and with the renewed hope provided by a strong voter turnout and positive election results south of the border, it’s almost as if the overwhelming relief felt by everyone contributed to the warmth and gratitude of the weekend. Almost as if the planet itself did one giant exhale. So here is a completely unrelated photo of me standing within a few kms of the US border while I was flying high AF from my summer adventure, overflowing with positivity and gratitude. . . . . . . #vanlife #roadtrip #crosscanadaadventure #crosscanadaroadtrip #roadtrippin #covidroadtrip #westfalia #westfaliacamper #volkswagen #vanagon #vanlifediaries #watertonlakesnationalpark #summer2020 #getbusyliving #siezetheday #carpediem #flowstate

I still think this mural had it right ✌️✌️...too bad Willie isn’t on the ballot. 🤷‍♂️🤔 Had to dig back into the archives for this one on my 10 month road trip adventure through the USA, which was actually right on the heels of the last election. Fingers crossed for a better result this time. Hopes and prayers to ya’ll!

To my sweet little girl Bella. I’m so happy to have met you and grateful for our times together. You were a great leaner. I loved the way you’d press your head against mine and hold it there. Miss your kisses and the way you’d make me feel when I’d visit your house, your whole body twisting and shaking, your tail a weapon of mass destruction. I wish you’d told me you were sick. I’d have slept by your bed side all the way to the end. If I’d known the last time I saw you would be my last I would have lingered longer. Of course it was a beautiful day when you left us. Drifting up on warm winds spreading yourself out into atmosphere for one last look over the country side before you gained that final bit of wisdom. I hope you remember me as I will always remember you. Until we meet again. My sweet little girl. Rest In Peace Bella. 💔

This was us on thanksgiving weekend. Since family get togethers were not happening and the concept of a zoom dinner party seemed even lonelier than not doing anything, my old friend Yann and I decided to seize the day. No phones, no wifi and no masks. In times like these, you need to make every effort to remind yourself of what’s important otherwise you’ll get swept up in the madness. . . . . . . . #canoecamping #portage #canoetrip #canoetripping #algonquinpark #siezetheday #getbusyliving #campingtrip #campingadventures #adventuretime #adventure #backcountrycamping #backcountry #canadiancamping #roughingit

The best times I’ve ever had are typically the simplest and least planned out. It’s as if they unfold on their own, the way words pour effortlessly from your mouth, without thinking, when you’re speaking the truth. . . . . . . . #camping #canoetrip #portage #mistercanoehead #fallleaves #autumn #getoutside #unplugged #nature #adventuretime #canoecamping #algonquinpark #naturelover #natureheals #getbusyliving #seekdiscomfort #campingtrip

This is the best I’ve ever been in my whole entire life. No shit. Up with the sun, tearing through the forest like a wild animal and driving to the top for a good look around. The older I get the less I seem to care about the things I was once so preoccupied with. It’s like the more I let go of what I’m supposed to be the more powerful I feel. It doesn’t need to get complicated to be effective. . . . . . . #trailrunning #trailrunner #forestbather #forestbathing #trailrunviews #fallleaves #fallcolors #autumn #gatineaupark #quebec #wolftrail #lookout #runningmotivation #coldplunge #coldtherapy #seekdiscomfort #getbusyliving #naturephotography #naturelover #natureheals #befree

A reminder that you don’t really need much to be happy and that if you don’t get comfortable taking chances in life you will never truly live. . . . . . . . . #movementismedicine #hikingadventures #crosscanadaroadtrip #adventuretime #vanlife #vanlifediaries #hikealberta #banff #canadianrockies #mountainlife #hike #hikingcrew #onelife #getbusyliving #cirquelevelc

I fucking love this shit. There’s no finer feeling. It builds strength and endurance, invigorates the body and brain, shores up your immune system and self confidence while showing you the beauty and balance of nature. It’s the cheapest and best anti depressant slash gym membership that money can’t buy. I’m starting a nature fitness gang! Who wants to join!? Lemme know. ❤️✌️ . . . . . . . #fallcolors🍁🍂 #gatineaupark #trailrunning #trailrunningviews #healthylifestyle #runnersofinstagram #trailrunner #natureheals #fallleaves #campfortune #healthyimmunesystem #naturephotography #runningmotivation #runningismytherapy #trailrunninglife

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
