I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, Ontario but feel as if I truely grew up at my family cottage in Coboconk, Ontario. It was there I fell in love with all things in the natural world, catching frogs, building forts, fishing and sitting around a campfire, things I still enjoy most today. In 2008 I graduated from Acadia University with a degree in Recreation Management and Community Development. My love of canoing and human powered water travel has taken me on a 66 day, 3,600 km paddle from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta to Thunder Bay, Ontario following traditional fur trade routes. Additionally I obtained my British Columbia class 4 raft guide license in the summer of 2009 and have been a Wilderness First Respoonder since 2004. Having been a canoe guide for summer camps in Algonquin and Temagami, I have discovered a passion for sharing the natural world to others. It is my hope that we can document our journey and share our stories of culture and environment with you.
