The only things you will regret are the risks you don't take
I have been feeling pretty uninspired as of late. Maybe it’s an early life crisis. Recently I have worked towards furthering my education, but I realized I have hit many other milestones that I should be proud of. I decided to write a reverse bucket list. Instead of what I still need to accomplish, I…
The look as I tell people I went skydiving again is something to behold. But why? Didn’t you just go? Why would you want to do that again? Most people can understand one jump, in a cross-it-off-your-bucket-list way, but doing it again seriously baffles people. I think, although more extreme, it really is no different…
I have been looking for different ways to use my GoPro. The farm I board at has lots of little cross country jumps scattered around the property, so thought it would be fun to try a GoPro video riding outside. An added bonus is that riding on grass is good practise for a Hunter Derby…
Why did I want to do it? People keep asking. Mostly as a 25th birthday present to myself. But, that doesn’t really answer it. I have dreaded this birthday for a long time. I feel like I should have my shit together by now. Recently though, I have been gripped with this incredible desire to…
I alluded to it in my last Algonquin post, but my Mom taught me most everything I know about camping. Really, when your first camping trip is in a baby carrier, how can you not learn a bit about backcountry camping? Coming off the rush of our last Algonquin trip, we leaped at the opportunity…

I am just as excited today, as yesterday, after being fresh off my jump. I was expecting to be terrified; not love it this much. I waited for fear to set in and it never did, just an incredible sense of wonder. So now, the question is when can I get up again? I had…
A trip report and photos of our last visit to Algonquin Park are still to come, but I thought it would be interesting to share the GoPro video I took. I hope everyone can experience a little bit of what is involved in backcountry canoe camping. Although this was a shorter trip than the one…
Shayn and I were looking for something to do one Sunday in August. I have been lamenting my desire to go tubing at Elora Gorge for about two years, so Shayn said we better go before winter comes! On route to Elora, we stopped in Guelph for lunch at one of our favorite restaurants –…

I have wanted a GoPro for a LONG time now. I finally bit the bullet and purchased one recently. I wish I had thought about this earlier in the summer, as it would have been fun to use it while tubbing the Elora Gore (a story for another post) or while zip lining. Alas, that will have…
I gave my Mom two gift cards to Tree Top Trekking in Barrie for Mother’s Day. At the beginning of August we picked a day to take advantage of this adventure. We were treated to a sunny day that was not overly hot, which was perfect for climbing in trees! We booked a 10:30 time…
