From Galena it took me 17 days to reach Emmonak, my final destination! Here are the … Continue reading Across the Delta to Emmonak
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

Atlin – Whitehorse: Wild, Windy and Beautiful!
Two hundred and seventy kilometers down!!! Or 270 km for those numerically minded, I like writing it out, it feels like it more reflects what that distance actually felt like!

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. But thanks to the unexpected visa issues that sent me back to Australia, I ended up with just four days between … Continue reading Out of reception, and into the water!

Cooking Up A Storm
I did it! I cooked, dehydrated and packed 352 meals in 2 weeks! Talking to my family and friends back home, people have been asking me, who have you met? What have you seen?
