Welcome to my blog! Traveling and exploring has become my favourite past time, and in retrospect I’ve been very fortunate to share my adventures with family at home and abroad.
Living in Yukon Canada, I call home to one of the most beautiful places on earth, and through this blog I hope to share not only my adventures abroad, but also provide a small glimpse of what makes the Yukon such a captivating place.
To suggest that I started traveling as a free spirit couldn’t be farther from the truth. Cautious by nature, I didn’t travel abroad until I was an adult, and even then I started off as many people do by booking into resorts in tropical locales. Yes, you’re in a different country, but at some point grazing the buffet, between visits to the pool bar starts to loose it’s lustre; but it did make it easy to get my feet wet travelling abroad, and helped eliminate a lot of stressors when the kids were young.
In truth, I have grown as a traveler over time. As my kids have gotten older and become more self reliant, we have increased our level of adventure, and taken on more challenging trips; and with every trip I have become more confident and now relish the opportunity to push my exploration boundaries.
I’ve come to understand that the only way to truly understand the world, different cultures, and historical perspectives, is to experience it first hand. Traveling opens the mind, and shrinks the world, and I believe makes us richer for the experience.
Let’s hit the trail……
