Day 0 June 30th
Distance travelled : 7.1km
Home -> Sarah's place

After a week of selling almost everything we own (for the 3rd time), it's time to hit the road. Surrounded by the people we met here, giving us a heartfelt send off, I question the motivations for leaving in the first place. A restless soul? Family? The prospect of a snow-free May?

Regardless, changes are coming! New jobs, new house (purchased sight unseen), friends, and family we haven't seen more than a dozen times in the last 8 years are some of the reasons we've decided to move back home to BC. Our month long trek across the country feels like a final hurrah before we settle down back to where it all started. This journey has much more than a physical destination.

Our first day of the journey comes after a weekend of many heartfelt cheers, and tearful goodbyes, and knowing this would be one of the longest days of driving, we didn't have many stops planned outside of the usual coffee and pee breaks. Our destination: a cabin just outside of Port Aux Basques, NL. The cabin belongs to someone who could probably compete for one of the most interesting men in the world; Rob Carter. We met him during our cabin adventure in Petty Harbour, at North Atlantic Ziplines. His generous spirit, in true Newfoundland style, offered up his beautiful cottage as an oasis at the start of our journey.
