  • Sunday Canadian Travel Video: The Northern Lights in the Northwest Territories

    While I have yet to make the long and arduous journey up to the North West Territories, I’ve found myself going through videos and photos of some of the sights and sounds of the region for years. One of my favourite natural wonders of the north is the Aurora Borealis. This video gives you a…

  • Photo Du Jour – Brackley Beach, Prince Edward Island

    I’m a bit behind on writing due to work and dealing with poor weather, which tends to stunt my motivation to be creative.

  • Sunday Canadian Travel Video: A Saskatchewan Sunset

    One of the things I miss most about my home province of Saskatchewan is catching the famous Saskatchewan sunsets. There’s a reason why they call this province the “Land of the Living Skies”.

  • The Sunday Canadian Travel Video: Fernie Alpine Resort

    Almost an entire month has gone by since my last post. Needless to say there hasn’t been a lot backpacking/travel going on in my life at the moment, which in turn has caused the amount of posts to putter down. Fortunately I’ve been keeping busy. School at the moment is going great, and I’m loving…

    There are two things everyone discovers upon checking out Whistler. First thing is how awesome the mountain is, winter or summer. The second thing they discover, is how awesome Whistlers nightlife is. See for yourself.
