Bring Your Dreams to Life

Never Settle. Think big, crush your limits, and explore life’s possibilities. Why live ordinary when you can live extraordinary?

For the last decade, I worked on and accomplished 100 bucket list goals. Things like speaking in front of hundreds of people, standing next to bubbling lava, and scuba diving with sharks. Now that I’ve crossed them all off, it’s time for a new, much more epic list of dreams I want to accomplish over the next 10 years. If you’re looking to do some cool things with your life and explore the extraordinary, It’s important to think about what’s important to you. I hope my list inspires you but I also want to help you make one.

Great timing for this photo. We were visiting Spirit Island when I saw a lady posing with the flag. Perfect timing for a #CanadaDay image! Anyone been to this little “island” before?

Happy Canada Day!

There’s no doubt that, as a country, we still have many important things we need to work on and address. We need to get better, each and every year.

But today, we’d like to acknowledge how far Canada has come and how admired we are around the world. When you meet immigrants who have experienced other countries and governments, they’ll tell you first-hand how good we really have it.

Whether you’re looking for a stable government, a high quality of life, or being able to explore more wilderness than any other place on Earth, Canada has it all.

Happy 🇨🇦 Day!

What word comes to mind with this photo? For me, it’s calm. I really miss these views from the window seat.

One of my favourite things to see while travelling

One of my favourite things to see while travelling is wildlife. Whether it's a hike through the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia or a safari in Tanzania, there's something so magical about seeing wildlife up close and in their natural habitat. This place is a mix of both. Located in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, we went to the Birds of Prey show where you can see these beautiful creatures up close.
Who else loves animals?

Anyone else excited for some summer road trips? I

Anyone else excited for some summer road trips? I was recently on the radio, discussing some of our favourite road trips from coast to coast to coast. We'll be making a video about it soon, but one of them is Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia. I mean, look at it! Not only is it home to the highest mountains in Nova Scotia but much of it goes right along the ocean. Next time we go, I wanna do it in a convertible!

Here’s another #tiktok video I published last we

Here’s another #tiktok video I published last week. People are loving it so I thought you’d get a kick out of it too :) You never know where you’ll find your next dancing partner.

It's like your walking into the ocean. If I had to

It's like your walking into the ocean. If I had to choose a favourite part about travelling, it would be finding epic views. I can literally sit there for hours and just stare out at the scenery. In this case, it's the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Just off the Cabot Trail, this is the one hike you absolutely should not miss!

I could certainly go for a little Nova Scotia righ

I could certainly go for a little Nova Scotia right about now. Back in 2017, during our 150-day road trip across Canada, I snapped this photo of some lobster traps near the iconic Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. It was part of a super early morning photography tour we did out of Halifax. It's also the only way to have the lighthouse almost to yourself. The day was very misty, but in a way, it totally added to the ambience of a brisk morning along the Atlantic Ocean. Embrace all types of weather and you'll never be disappointed.

Here's another look at the incredible Montmorency

Here's another look at the incredible Montmorency Falls near Quebec City. Imagine going over this in a kayak. haha.

I love waterfalls, but then again, who doesn't? Wh

I love waterfalls, but then again, who doesn't? What's cool about the Montmorency Falls near Quebec City though, is that you can walk along the platform and get so close that you feel the power of the walls as it pelts you in the face. You can't even see as the water just engulfs the lower platform and it's hard to stay longer than a minute.
This large waterfall is 83 m tall (272 feet) tall, making it almost 100 feet taller than Niagara Falls. It's a must-visit when in Quebec City and even has a zip-line at the top!

Do you know of any other waterfall that you can get up close and wet?

With the lockdown looking like it's almost over, w

With the lockdown looking like it's almost over, where are you planning to travel to this year? For us, it's unlikely we'll be getting on a plane anytime soon, but we're looking to make a lot more day trips from Calgary this summer, creating a series of videos for the Cowboy Trail and other small communities. We're also looking forward to moving into a new apartment in the inner-city and spending more time in the city. You?

Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland is one of

Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland is one of my favourite places to go in all of Canada. From being able to walk on the Earth's mantle to sailing through land-locked fjords, it's one of the most impressive natural areas in the country, and in the world. This popular hike to the summit takes about 7-8 hours for the total trip, but it's all worth it for this insanely beautiful view. Plus, during our visit, we saw three moose while hiking, including a baby moose that came super close. Have you been?

Yesterday, I showed you a photo I took of Niagara

Yesterday, I showed you a photo I took of Niagara Falls from a helicopter, so how about seeing the falls up close? Well, this is as close as you can get as part of their "Journey Behind the Falls" experience. If I had to pick one way to see the falls, this would be it. It's truly astounding to see the power this close. Now, who wants to go off in a barrel?

One of my favourite activities is going up in a he

One of my favourite activities is going up in a helicopter for a birds-eye view of where I am, and one of the most spectacular rides I've had was over Niagara Falls. It's such a different perspective to see them from above and to see how far the mist rises into the air. Horseshoe Falls (aka: Canadian Falls) is the most powerful waterfall in North America and is one of Canada's most iconic attractions.

As I've mentioned before, Grasslands National Park

As I've mentioned before, Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan is one of my favourite national parks in the country. Not only is it unique and home to the second darkest darky sky preserve in Canada, but there's also lots of wildlife, with the biggest one being the bison. They roam freely here, so if you are out hiking, you definitely want to make sure you don't accidentally stumble upon a herd. We've only seen them close from a vehicle but we've seen other wildlife near our hiking trails, such as coyotes. Still no rattlesnakes though. I'd like to see one next time - just not too close. Have you been???

Anyone else chase waterfalls? This one is in Johns

Anyone else chase waterfalls? This one is in Johnston Canyon, Banff National Park. I've got a number of waterfalls lined up to see this year for the first time. Any you'd recommend?

As much as I love all the parks in Canada, my favo

As much as I love all the parks in Canada, my favourite urban park is Vancouver's Stanley Park. Even though it can be quite busy (perhaps the only downfall), it's just such a cool place. Biking, or simply walking, around the seawall is my top thing to do, but it's also awesome to just find a beach to relax on or escape into the forest. Have you been? We just wrote a detailed guide to Things to Do in Vancouver on MustDoCanada.com. Anything you'd add?

As someone who primarily shares tourism-focused co

As someone who primarily shares tourism-focused content, I try not to deviate from that, especially when it comes to major news events, politics, and so forth.
But I can't do that this time. I want to make it clear that what's happening in America right now, and to be honest, in many countries around the world, is truly disgusting.
In fact, it's painful. My heart hurts for humanity. It's been hard to sleep as we think of all the pain and suffering that POC are going through, especially south of our border.

I do not stand for injustice. I do not stand for racism. I do not stand for bigotry. We must speak up when we see racism happening, whether it be a stranger walking down the street or you're own family member.
If you have a platform, use it. These types of conversations are never easy to have, and that's especially so if you know someone who is part of the problem.

And although Canada feels like a calm oasis compared to America right now, we have our own issues with racism, especially with the indigenous communities. We have our racist pundits like Faith Goldy. We had things like residential schools, which only recently ended, and a plethora of other things that have happened throughout time.
I don't need to go on. There are many better places to learn about these things. One of my favourites is #Winnipeg's Canadian Museum of Human Rights. Maybe just talk to people who don't look like you.

I truly hope to see an end to racism in my lifetime. It's 2020, but it doesn't feel that way.

If I had the chance today, I'd love to be surfing

If I had the chance today, I'd love to be surfing in Tofino, BC! We haven't been back since 2017 but I really miss those magical sunsets and getting thrown around by the waves. The pros make it look way too easy. Have you ever surfed before?

Who isn’t excited to see waterfalls and mountain

Who isn’t excited to see waterfalls and mountain vistas? Especially when we’ve been cooped inside a house for so long. Despite being here less than a week ago, we visit Sheep River Provincial Park again yesterday for a family picnic. Next time we gotta go hiking though. Any recommendations?

What's one word you'd use to describe this photo?

What's one word you'd use to describe this photo? For me, it's WOW.

I snapped this picture back in 2017 as we stood at the top of Whistler's Mountain, easily accessible by the Jasper SkyTram. This was the final days of our 150-day road trip across Canada and was a great way to end such an incredible trip. Have you seen our videos yet?

It may not look like much in this photo, but hikin

It may not look like much in this photo, but hiking in Grasslands National Park is an awesome experience. It starts off flat like this, meandering through the beautiful prairie grass, before shifting into high hills with incredible views over the entire valley. From the hills, we've spotted coyotes, bison, and lots of birds. Next time I hope to see a rattlesnake. Just not too close. This is actually one of my favourite national parks in Canada. Check out our Grasslands video on YouTube to see more.

Yesterday was the video, today the picture. I’m

Yesterday was the video, today the picture. I’m looking forward to exploring more of my own backyard this year. You?
