Recommendations
From the mountains of the Canadian Rockies, jungles of Costa Rica, and New Zealand's South Island adventures, I've got all your outdoor travel recommendations. Having grown up in Canmore, I Banff National Park like the back of my hand. In the last 3 years I've spent my life exploring Costa Rica's west coast, Australia's east coast, and New Zealand's south island. Specializing in adventure, I can help you find the best hikes, backcountry huts, and outdoor explorations, curated to your personal skill level and ability, so that you will be able to make the most of your trip. With a background in hospitality (and being a little bit boujee) I can also help recommend the best places to fuel up, or wind down after a day in the mountains. Whether you're looking for a pre-activity snack, after adventure cocktail, or day off wine tour, I have tested all the best places in the areas to find the hidden gems and steer you away from those overrated spots.

From breathtaking landscapes to vibrant cultures, I believe that travel has the power to transform lives and broaden horizons. As an adventurer, I've hiked through dense rainforests, climbed towering Rocky Mountains, and dived into crystal-clear waters. I'm always seeking the next thrilling experience that pushes me out of my comfort zone and teaches me something new about the world and myself. Through my storytelling, I aim to transport you to awe-inspiring destinations, providing a glimpse into different cultures, traditions, and ways of life. My goal is to inspire and empower you to embark on your own transformative journeys, while promoting responsible and sustainable travel practices.
