Across Countries

Backcountry Camping at Simpson Lake

A series of voice memos from my time backcountry camping near Algonquin.

I'm Back in Ontario!

A few interesting recounts of my last 36 hours from meeting Christian and Teale in Winnipeg, Jason on the TransCanada Highway, and feeding deer on mission island in Thunder Bay!

Getting Through The Prairies As Fast As Possible

The prairies still suck. That is all. But also, I've been driving a lot and I am exhausted! At this point I just want to teleport.

Taking The Scenic Route Through the Okanagan and Jasper Is Worth It

I've taken the scenic route through BC and Alberta back to Edmonton and it has been amazing. The Okanagan Valley and the Icefield Parkway is stunning. I had to keep pulling off to the side of the road to get photos and videos of the views I was seeing. Must do for anyone making this trip.

Interviews With a Stranger: Jeremy Meneses

I said from I think the fourth day of this trip that I needed to interview someone who was biking across Canada and today I made that happen! I met Jeremy through a Facebook Group that we're both in, https://www.facebook.com/groups/yesfamcanada (Yes Fam Canada), and knew I had to have him on the podcast. We connected earlier in the trip through Instagram and found out that we'd be crossing paths briefly in Jasper so we made it happen! I asked questions like: Has he shit in a hole on the side of the road (a question I get a lot) Where does he shower? (another one I get a lot) Why he's doing this trip and why now What is he hoping to take away from this trip and much more Make sure to follow him and his story on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jer_bikes/ (@jer_bikes)! He's going to start documenting a bit more hopefully so here's to the start of that! Make sure to follow me too while you're at it https://www.instagram.com/lukeblessed/ (@lukeblessed)
