Im heading North.
Away from the knowns of Victoria. Away from friends, away from an amazing Longboarded-experience in Ottawa. Away from an amazing team of people in Nova Scotia, who now mostly all call themselves Katimavik Project Leaders.
Im heading North. Today, to Baie-Comeau, tomorrow to Labrador City, and Wednesday to Happy Valley-Goose Bay, my new home.
And, Im incredibly excited. Im excited for the gifts I have to share with my particpants. Im excited for the friends I have and will make up there. Im excited for the wilderness, the streams, and the Sub-Arctic Atlantic Ocean. This is a new place, with new people, and it will be my home for 10 months.
I await for the difference of culture Ill experience. For the wilderness, the unscarred and unscathed landscapes, the mountains, the moose, dear, and bear. I await for sub-zero months, 6 hour days, cabin-fever with 11 youth, and amazing adventures into the snow.
I am happy to be heading where Im heading.
I just finished two weeks of Project Leader training in Truro, Nova Scotia. There's 4 of us now travelling in a 12-passenger Katima-van, which has 3 of the back

With the love of a full pride of lions,

Garlic, George, and Dental Floss
All things equally awesome. The tire Luke-George is holding had a torn side-wall, and belonged to one of the Rising Tides tour members. I took my dental floss, and fixed it, then covered it with duc... [more]
