As you may know… I have a deep love for adventure and the outdoors. I also really enjoy reading non-fiction adventure books! Some of my favourites are listed below:

I was deeply inspired and moved by the story of Aron Ralston who got trapped in a canyon when a boulder fell on his arm in Utah. I read his book and was totally fascinated by his amazing story of survival. Aron wrote the book about his experience called “Between a Rock and a Hard Place”.
I read this book and was so moved by his experience. His story also gave me the inspiration to go to visit Utah! So last spring my boyfriend and I went to Moab Utah and went camping, climbing and biking in and around the beautiful canyon lands and red rock of Utah… while we were visiting we met a local guy named Josh who showed us around and gave us some great advice about where to camp and climb… he asked us what brought us to Utah and I explained how I read the book by Aron Ralston and how it inspired me to come to Utah and he mentioned how they are actually filming the movie down the road. I was totally amazed. The next day my boyfriend Zack and I drove by the canyon slot that they were filming in. We saw a make-shift bridge that they were carrying gear into the canyon for the movie. The movie is out in theatres now and it is called 127 hours and is directed by Danny Boyle. I highly recommend it.

I took this photo in my mom’s Garden of Gratitude yesterday morning. I love the way the water drops sparkle on the leaf.

We had a great time kayaking in the spring of 2010 around Vancouver Island. Take a peek at the video we made. We encountered some amazing sea lions and humpback whales. We didn’t get the whales on camera but we did catch the sea lions! Watch the video with footage of us Kayaking around Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

I’m visiting my good friend Gillian MacDonald here in beautiful Jasper, Alberta. She’s been living here for a few years… and she loves it here. I was taking my Wilderness First Responder course in Whitefish Montana from May 17-21st and realized that I was only a few hours away from Jasper. I asked Gill if I could come and visit for the weekend and she was very happy to have me. Today – May 24th – I took the Tram up Whistler Mountain and I hiked to the peek. Jasper is a special place and the Tram is an easy way to get up high and get an amazing perspective of the little town nestled in the rocky mountains. I took a few photos and I took a self portrait of myself using a 10 second timer on a rock. It was pretty neat to go up on my own and for only a few moments I had the mountains to myself. It was incredible.
