About

So you want to know more about me huh?

Well, My name is Corbin, I’m a 20-something guy from the flatlands of Canada, known to most as Saskatchewan. Despite being one of the tougher provinces to spell, it’s not such a bad place to grow up.  My family has a huge farm just North of Regina, where we have cattle, a few horses, and a buttload of land.

After finishing High-School, I fell into the trap of taking a year off before diving into Uni. Best. Trap. Ever. I sold my truck (yep, Ford Ranger had to go), most of my possessions, and took off for a year of Round the World Travel. I loved every minute of it, and upon arrival back home, I realized I couldn’t stop. I needed a fix. BAD.

So I steal my Mom’s car 2 months after being home, and drive it 30 some hours West to Vancouver, perhaps or perhaps not to see a girl I was traveling with in Australia. After travelling all the way back and some over a couple months, I realized how little info there is on Canada for backpackers. I noticed the infrastructure for budget travel was there, however, for some reason people had been keeping it a secret, or just decided it was too cold to bother telling anyone. Sissies. Here I am, spillin’ the metaphorical beans all over for everyone to pick up. Enjoy!
