Tales From the Trail
Inca Trail
I heart hiking because of the… Clean and fresh air. Scented breezes. Birdsong. Cool lakes. Dense forests. Rushing rivers. Tall hills and mountains. Steep ravines. Occasional bouldering or rock climbing. Wildlife sightings. Water crossings. Interesting land formations and geological features. Good exercise. Biodiversity in action. An overall educational and therapeutic effect! Only nature can provide all of that.

Last spring, we were tempted to head south for the chance at a snow-free day hike a few weeks earlier than in our own area. We were already planning to go on a backcountry gear shopping trip to Mountain Equipment Co-op in Barrie, which would only take a few hours, so this would be the perfect opportunity to […]
While I was backpacking British Columbia, I used CouchSurfing a lot to meet people, join social events, and organize activities. It’s one of the many uses of CouchSurfing! So as I was busy exploring Vancouver, I also planned a trip hiking the Sunshine Coast Trail. A week or two beforehand, our group had met to discuss the trail […]
Once I arrived in Vancouver following my Western Canada rideshare road trip in a transport truck, I settled in over the next few days, and got to know the nearby area. I was ready to begin backpacking British Columbia, and I planned to start by exploring Vancouver! But before I could spend any time exploring Vancouver and more […]
Rounding off the series on hiking Korea’s mountains with a bucket list to make the best of a year abroad, there are 10 more hikes in Korea I got to complete. I absolutely loved every moment spent on these trails, discovering as much of Korea’s landscape as I could — as would anyone! Jeollabuk-do There were quite a […]
