PLACES I’VE BEEN

Meet Thomas

I’ve always been at home in the outdoors.

Growing up by the Bay of Fundy, I gained a deep sense of wonder for Canada’s wilderness. After countless canoe paddles, hikes, and camping trips, my love for the great outdoors is stronger than ever!

I want to help you embrace your sense of adventure. That’s what this blog is all about.

Nice and calm evening to kayak on Letang Harbour. On the water again this morning — and no one else around. Anyone paddling this weekend? Happy first day of summer! A few weeks ago, I had the chance to hike Turtle Mountain not too far from Saint John (not to be confused with Turtle Mountain near Crowsnest Pass). While there’s little comparison to the Rockies, this could be the closest thing to “mountain hiking” in the area. New Brunswick’s Turtle Mountain offers one of the most breathtaking views I’ve seen in the province. So I’d say the 24-km out and back hike is worth the trip! Today, I’m lovin’ life down by the bay. Saint Andrews by-the-Sea is easily one of my favourite places in NB! Nothing like a Sunday morning paddle. I see many more kayak adventures in the near future…! Last week, I was in Ottawa on a work trip and had some time on a sunny Friday afternoon. So I drove over to Gatineau Park in Quebec with my sights set on Wolf Trail. Of course, I wasn’t disappointed! Are you new to hiking? Maybe you’ve been out on the trail and now want to learn more? One of my favourite views in Ottawa! I was lucky enough to live in this beautiful city for a couple of years while studying (seems like a lifetime ago…). Happy to be back again on a work trip. 💥 FREE Parks Canada Discovery Pass 💥 We share our home with the wildlife around us. Porcupine, skunk, bald eagles, and more—and a large herd of deer grazing in this morning’s rain. They’re here almost every day.
