Vacationing in Gran Canaria

February 25, 2014by Noemie-Capucine Quessy 2 Comments

After travelling Morocco for 6 weeks, I decided to fly west to the Canary Islands of Spain, where I would spend 10 days vacationing. I’ve never been an all-inclusive fan, […]

If time is all we have, I’ll waste it all here with you. 🐺🐕🏔 #junoandlady

➳ Camping ready. It’s pretty unusual that, mid-summer on the West Coast, we are permitted to have campfires. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good campfire! From collecting its material, to the first spark, to its clearing away, and to leaving no trace. It’s important to remind ourselves that, even though the fire bans are lifted in some regions, our province has underlying drought conditions. A crackling fire can rapidly turn into a spreading wildfire if not properly built and looked after. Make sure you know your area, choose a safe site, never leave your fire unattended, and always make sure it’s fully extinguished before you leave. Have a happy and safe weekend!

I ascended my first mountain peak when I moved to BC in 2003. Sweating in nature for hours to reach a summit with awe-inspiring views soon became a necessity. Luckily, I reside in a mountainous paradise that hosts a plethora of incredible hikes. ᨏ Hiking for me is not only a way to challenge myself physically, but mostly mentally. It allows me to push myself, develop mental toughness, mindfulness, and confidence, and persevere until I succeed. Because I know that even though the journey seems hard (and impossible) at times, it‘s part of an incredible adventure that is worth climbing for. 12.6km / 1,788m

☼day funday. I’ve been longing for change for a while now. I’ve always had itchy feet and if I stay put in one place for too long, I start to go a tad stir-crazy. With our town getting busier, it surely makes sense for one to search for a quieter place, away from the maddening crowds. But the truth is, there are many reasons why I’m still here, after (nearly) 16 years, calling this place my home. It’s not only for the abundance and variety of terrain to explore, but mostly for days like this: wilderness + friends + no cells. There’s a saying that goes like this: «wherever you go, there you are.» Well, here I am. And as long as I’ll be here, I’ll be there with all my heart.♡

High-five to 10 years of roaming mountains and coast with you! Happy Birthday Juno! ▼(´ᴥ`)▼ #lifeunleashed #adoptdontshop

Home is where you park it.⚓️

The stunning views of an otherworldly winter landscape.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. If you want an adventure, go fast and far with your 3 wheelers in the snow together. Because like they say, it’s not the destination that counts but the journey. As long as you have a good adventure buddy. And maple whiskey. Definitely bring maple whiskey. Miss you chipa @mel_elm 😚

10 years challenge brought to you by some sweet secret ice caves.

Mountain living. ᨏ

Go where you feel the most alive.

☼ Each day is born with a sunrise and ends in a sunset, the same way we open our eyes to see the light, and close them to hear the dark. You have no control over how your story begins or ends. But by now, you should know that all things have an ending. Every spark returns to darkness. Every sound returns to silence. And every flower returns to sleep with the earth. The journey of the sun and moon is predictable. But yours, is your ultimate ART. ☽ Words by Suzy Kassem
