Something about it just makes me feel so excited – finding serenity in the wild – finding the perfect balance of cozy and crazy. Truth… Read more →

Days 7-10: Winter Nights In Our Mongolian Yurt, 10 Winter Days In The Yukon
I’d never slept in a Mongolian yurt before, so you can imagine that it wasn’t too hard to convince myself that I absolutely HAD to experience it. And why not in the Yukon territory, in the snow? It was so random, yet probably one of the best random adventures I’ve been on. We arrived at night, a little tipsy from our detour to Yukon… Read more →
Day 6: When Aurora Found Us “Off The Grid”, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon
Our last night on the Wheaton river had finally come. I wasn’t quite ready for it. I’d gotten used to ‘off the grid’ life. Storing perishable items in a cooler on the front porch had become normal. I was okay with not having phone reception. In fact, the lack of electricity meant that my mobile battery was always dead anyway, so it didn’t really phase me… Read more →

Day 3: A Traveler’s Christmas, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon

Well, this year I got to experience it. We experienced our first White Christmas… Read more →
Day 2: Snowmobiling, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon
After two failed attempts at seeing Aurora Borealis, our Northern adventure was in serious need of a little excitement and adrenalin. We needed to get things moving. So it was time to get skidooing! A skidoo, as Canadians call it, is more commonly referred to as a snowmobile. It is basically a motorbike built specifically for snowy terrain equipped with… Read more →
Sunset, Moonset at Elfin Lakes Shelter (Timelapse)
Timelapse of Elfin Lakes Shelter. Melting snow, getting drunk and doing time-lapses in great company. There is nothing i’d rather be doing on a Saturday night. The skies were perfectly clear on such a bitter cold night. Read more →
Fire And Stars At Lake Cowichan (Timelapse)
Timelapse of Lake Cowichan taken from Harmony Ridge B&B. Check out this timelapse from a recent trip to Vancouver Island. Having spent countless hours staring at the stars and milky way in the Southern hemisphere back home in Australia, there’s definitely something I find eerie about the Northern skies. I’m not sure if they are just dead pixels… Read more →
