Magic. Absolute f&@*ing magic. Every time I think back to that day, I’m in awe of how powerful the female body is; how it can create, birth and sustain life. Almost six months down the track, chillin’ out on vacation in Noosa with our baby girl sleeping in a travel cot we borrowed and I still have these moments where… Read more →

A Luxury Norwegian cabin for $50 dollars?
Have you ever found a place almost too special to share? Well, for me, this is one of those places. It’s no secret, I’m a little obsessed with the idea of living in the forest.

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?

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.

Day 4: Annie Lake & Snowfall, 10 Winter Days in the Yukon
With fog overhead, thick forest and partial-mountain views all around, it was hard to really process where we were. As we walked on top of Annie Lake, a frozen lake in the Wheaton River valley, we finally got a zoomed-out view of the landscape that has surrounded us for the past 3 days. We stumbled across Trapper Ray’s abandoned hut. The scattered belongings had me… 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 →
