Mountains or Ocean? The benefit of living on Vancouver Island, is that you don’t have to decide! In my grade 11 year I was introduced to backpacking by signing up for a weekend up Mount Albert Edward. Years later I have re-found my love for backpacking have covered some serious ground – from coastal trails to mountain peaks.

I recently wrote an article for Live Out There with some of my favourites. Find them here.

What are yours? I’m always looking for new hikes on this beautiful island.
