Rambling & Roving

PATIENCE PLEASE, THIS PAGE IS STILL UNDER RENOVATION.

Our collection has grown significantly since this project first began, and we now have enough trail recommendations to create in-depth park guides for many of the most notable provincial and regional parks of southern Vancouver Island. From camping and fishing to kayaking and hiking, there are ample adventure opportunities for all skill and experience levels, and the Victoria area is working hard to make exploring easy and accessible to all- and we’re here to help.

Check back again soon for more resources, as this page will be updated much more regularly coming into the new year. In the meantime, stay in the loop over on Kat’s instagram and get a sneak peak of some of the adventure before it gets shared on here!

Nowadays, they dedicate their weekends to discovering their new surroundings. Whether exploring close to home in the Sooke Hills or road-tripping up island to explore Strathcona-Westmin, Conor and Kat have developed a dangerous addiction to adventure.

I don’t know why, but those closest to me have always encouraged me to continue writing and taking pictures. Maybe my parents saw a talent from a young age, or perhaps they’ve always wanted someone in the family who would document everything. I doubt they imagined photography and writing would become one of their few direct links to their youngest child, living on the opposite side of the worlds second largest country.

I started this blog long before I moved to Vancouver Island, because I had always had the intention of doing exactly what the name entails: traveling and writing about it. In high school, I dreamed of becoming a professional photographer, venturing the world and selling my photos to magazines like National Geographic. Well, on a more realistic scale, I may one day have a photo featured on Can Geo’s website, but a similar dream lives on in me today.

The content you will find on this blog varies, from personal anecdotes about mental illness to detailing the weekend adventures we have while hiking. Most of the content relates back to nature and well-being, so if that strikes your fancy, you’ve come to the right place.
