I had to just tell my stories and hope my writing voice would come through to my audience. It is a process, I know if I do not write then I will never fulfil this “blog” dream I have and people will never hear about my adventures. I will be driving from place to place; I won’t be climbing Mount Everest or probably even doing any major hikes but it will be my story.
I am 62 years old but people tell me I look a lot younger. Good skin genes and the few extra pounds keep the wrinkles at bay! I have okay looks but really do not want to video my life so the blog is my better option.
I had travelled for 6 weeks in 2015 across the USA in my SUV. After that trip I had the travel bug. I decided on my next trip I wanted to travel more “comfortably”. Vanlife has become a big thing on YouTube and now TikTok which helped me to decide this would be my way of retiring a bit early.
I worked lots of overtime, saved and pursued the want ads until I found my van. I got financing and figured I would be able to make the payments for the next 5 years or so and then use that money for van maintenance later on.
One of my big bucket list trips was to drive across Canada, which I had never done before. Then I wanted to head south along the east coast of USA to Florida. I have never been to Florida either. Next I would head to New Mexico and Arizona and north back to western Canada.
Sensational Saskatchewan – To See & Explore is the beginning of my 7 month road trip.
