If I were to narrow it down to the most valuable thing that I learnt from our working holiday in Whistler, it would be gratitude. Although I had some understanding of what gratitude was, I had never truly practiced it. Gratitude: noun [mass noun]the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to…
In the last twenty-four hours, I feel like I've entered a new chapter of my life, with feelings of relief and excitement. A chapter of movement, gratitude, travel and new goals astir. I've felt The travel bug growing exponentially in my belly and a strong craving for adventure; watch this space. Part 2/3 - the…
I'm torn between going adventuring and pocketfuls of money. And in order to travel, I need pocketfuls of money, so I guess that's my first step. In Australia, particularly Adelaide, things are starting to open up again. For example, and most importantly, the gym reopens in less than forty-eight hours. Yeah, there's a bunch of…
Alike most, I am well and truly into the swing of self isolation and buying everything that pops up on my Instagram ads; obviously because I need it and I can't possibly live without. The only time that I am not at home is when I go to the grocery store for an "adventure". To…
It's official, we have returned home. I'm currently sitting inside our humble abode amongst the hills, wearing some comfy activewear after a workout on the deck. I just ate some overnight oats with mango, as I listen to the sweet 'hold' music that myGov has graciously forced upon me. And when I say myGov, I'm…
Most days went along the lines of 'Eat, Sleep, Gym, Repeat' up until we started work. In between, we chatted within our new estate and became friends with Rachel and Emma. Steering away from going crazy (and only just avoiding it), we ventured out to Rainbow Falls, positioned on the opposite side of Alta Lake;…
We arrived in Whistler a day before my first day of work. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite to plan. I worked approximately ten hours over the span of a month before I even had part time work. Jordan didn't start work till later in the season either. This made it tricky. Moving to a new…
If you know, you know. The Whistler Train Wreck has been a popular attraction for many years, drawing in travellers of all ages. I'd seen a couple of photos from when Jordan last visited this abandoned train site and I had always wanted to explore it myself. Astoundingly, five years later, I am lucky enough…
If you haven't checked out my short film on our trip into Canada, you should, it's great, the links here On another note, hello Vancouver! By the time we got to the hotel, the sun had retired for the day and my tummy was starting to grumble. Although my entire being just wanted to flop…
You guessed correctly.. Canada! Jordan and I are packing our bags and moving our life across the world. With jobs and housing organised, we need only get on a plane. A much awaited trip, scheduled and rescheduled many times; turns out getting married and building a house takes time, who knew? So, here we are,…
