Past the 3000km mark
Wowsers can you believe it Lucy’s nearly finished. She passed the 3000km mark, and has just a few days left. Not much more news except her zips are on edge, there's been a heap of mosquitoes, and a lot of mud and sad which has made it a bit more challenging to find and set … Continue reading Past the 3000km mark

I … Continue reading Atlin – Whitehorse: Wild, Windy and Beautiful!
Out of reception, and into the water!
What a whirlwind! Originally, I thought I’d have a whole month in the Whitehorse area to settle in—time to meet people, get to know the environment around me, and ease into this big adventure.
