Why not make a trip to the Island, I mean, you're so close... all you have to do is pack up the Jeep, grab your credit card (as it's $55 to get there on the Ferry), take a couple friends and a-way-you-go!! Vancouver Island is a wonderful place! There are so many places you can visit in less than 4 hours. I've only discovered the East side of the Island mind you, I hear the west side (Tofino and surrounding areas) are outstanding! The Island is like a mini-rainforest (Unless, of course, you're in Victoria - it never rains there.. ), [View Full Entry]

Seeing as it was pouring rain and the slow season in Whistler, BC, Jon and I decided to drive down to California. It was a quick decision, we pretty much planned it in an evening and we left the next morning. Spur-of-the-moment, if you will. I had been recovering from a concussion, my second one in less than 3 months, and I couldn't work. I had talked to my Aunt and Uncle who live down there and they mentioned visiting them for a couple days. I thought it would be a great getaway and a nice chance to spend some quality [View Full Entry]

I have lived here from June 21st '06 until present day (Feb. 8th '07). What can I say? Whistler is the place to be if your into parties, snowboard/skiiing, mountain biking, hiking, photography, mountains, and anything outdoorsy. It's a mecca for Environmentalists, Nature freaks, Hippies, and Outdoorsy Yuppies (or anyone outdoorsy). Heck, I think anyone could acually live here. The jobs all have to do with tourism and hospitality and everyone is very welcoming. The landscape here is so breath-taking. Whistler Village is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, numerous amounts of trees and wildlife. You can pretty much hike anywhere you want, [View Full Entry]

We made it. The drive from Canmore, AB to Vancouver, BC was huge, but we enjoy every minute of it. After getting over the AB / BC boarder, we travelled into Yoho National Park, which was so beautiful. This is where we almost died for the second time in our trip... we were crusing at a pretty high spend along the Trans Canada Highway and enjoy our loud music... all the sudden a Elk jumped out infront of good old Betty Blue (my Volvo) and we almost rammed into it. The breaks squealed and I swearved to miss the poor thing... [View Full Entry]

Flat?
Flat?
Yup, I'd say that's pretty flat.
My home province! Alberta! The good old Rockie Mountain Range... so beautiful. Nothing beats this place, well, almost nothing. I'm just a huge fan because it's so beautiful and, yes I was born here. As we travelled across the boarder from Saskatchewan and Alberta, we noticed something... the farm land of Alberta looked exactly like that of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Strange, but true. It was FLAT. We drove into Medicine Hat and stopped for a while and took in the city. After that nice and quick stop (QUICK), we drove on and arrived in Calgary around 2pm. We hung out in [View Full Entry]

Pretty cool eh?
Saskatchewan! The best place to live, work and raise a family! According to them. I think it would be the best place to have a farm and grow any type of agriculture ever. I actually loved Saskatchewan, it was so beautiful. The landscape changed a lot as we travelled through the province. From flat farm lands, to rolling hils and mountains in the background. You can see a thunder storm from SO far away. It was beautiful. It's the province with the never ending sky. I actually took a lot of photos here, I even bought a patch! haha.

Manitoba. What can I say? It's quite the province. The most exciting part about the drive was probably the relief that we finally made it through Ontario and into Manitoba. The landscape changed drastically, as it went from the rocky northern environment to flat flat flat flat farm land. It was very beautiful actually. You could see the towering city of Winnipeg from miles away! By towering I mean, small (because the landscape was so flat around it, the city looked bigger than it actually was). At some points during our drive, it was actually freaking how flat everything is. Crazy. [View Full Entry]

Yes, Anthony and I are both wearing yellow. Brothers and sisters should match at all times. ;)
'Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living' - Miriam Beard Brief History: I'll give you a quick, brief over-view of my life after High School. I was finally done at school at Georgetown District High in Georgetown, Ontario. Graduated in June of 2001 and was ready to get on with my life. I got accepted to Guelph Univeristy, for Geography and finished up my B.A. Degree in 3 years (grad: June 2004). I wanted to move to Banff, Alberta that summer, but decided to [View Full Entry]

After hearing I was going to be able to go in Alaska, I couldn't stop smiling. I really didn't know what to expect, was it going to be cold? snowing? Was I going to be able to see lots of wildlife? lots of trees? .. more importantly, was I going to be able to last on a Cruise Ship without going stir-crazy or loosing my mind. Just a brief note, I'm not that comfortable on boats, ships, canoes.. anything that's used as a method of travel on water. So, being put on a cruise ship, in the ocean.. I didn't know [View Full Entry]

A gift from my Aunt and Uncle. A High School graduation present to London, England. Wooo hooo! Anthony and I take a outstanding trip to London. To be honest, I expected it to be super rainy and cold, but to my surprise, it was hot as hell and almost muggy. We left Toronto Airport on May 23rd and flew across the Atlantic Ocean to Gatwick Airport. 8.5 hours of sleeping and reading on the plane... (more to come) **Unfortunately, I only took film for this trip. So, in due time I will have to scan some images to upload and post [View Full Entry]
