Welcome to my website! I’m a Canadian who was born an east coast gal, but it now a west coast gal. I moved to British Columbia for school and for an adventure – I had no clue just how big of an adventure was ahead me. 🙂
The discovery of mountain adventures was a life-changing experience for me.
Growing up I had no idea that mountains, especially like those found here on the west coast, existed and that people climbed them. I have always been active and enjoyed being outside – moving to British Columbia and this discovery changed my life for the better. The vastness of the mountains, the bright green moss after a rain, all reminders of the beauty of nature, and how being present in these spaces can heal wounds, give you perspective, and simply make you happy.
Through this website I’d like to share my adventures with you! I love researching, planning, training, gear shopping – all things related to mountain adventures! My posts on adventuring will be thorough and not only include details of the climb itself, but also lots of other planning and logistical tidbits you’ll need to know. I also have a kinesiology background and I worked in the fitness industry for a number of years, thus I love trying to dial in what I need to do to prepare for my outdoor goals both physically and mentally. I hope to give you some ideas on how you could train for your outdoor goals. Lastly, I’m a bit of a gear nerd who used to work at Arc’teryx and MEC, so I have lots of knowledge to share – my friends and family are always asking me for advice on what gear they need and how to care for it.
Well that’s the short intro to my website. I hope you’ll stick around!
