Journeys happening now...

Two Canadian scuba divers told me about a spot that attracts kayakers (like @sagekayak) from all around the world. Go on...I said. 200,000,000,000 gallons of water rush through Skookumchuck Narrows to form a standing wave at high tide🌊 This gives sea kayakers a chance to practice tricks and ride the rapids for as long as they want. And as if life couldn't get any better, got back to the campsite to find out those scuba divers became supporters of my bike ride across America (and into Canada) 🇨🇦 #explorebc #vancouverisland #skookumchuck #kayaking #gnarlywaves
A break from the bike trip to announce the EXPLORER TEAM application! We have already had talks from around the world: teachers in Haiti, master bolusers of a Croque Monsiours, and those with an endless sense of curiosity. Link is in the bio & EVERYONE is encouraged to apply: "Travel is the antidote to ignorance" ~Trevor Noah

Veterans at the Comox Air Force Museum on Vancouver Island repaint and restore vehicles from the past World Wars. The best part is that they work for coffee ☕️ Bike trip update: Completed the Sunshine Coast Trail, British Columbia Seattle, WA - Sept. 12th (giving a talk) Portland, OR ~Sept 15th Eugene, OR ~18th Photo inspired by @christophe_l_noel who has work featured on DiabetesAbroad.com
Met one in a department store. The other around the campfire. We are three strangers brought together by the sense of adventure. Location: ice caves at Wedgemont Lake. Apparently the hardest hike in Garibaldi Provincial Park. Who says you can't go into the woods with complete strangers? #diabadass #diabetesabroad #t1dlookslikeme #glacier #explorebc #longweekend
Day 10 of hiking the North Coast Trail as part of the @connectedinmotion Adventure Team | wave goodbye. Do you believe in fate? You feel that there are certain people who entered your life for a reason. In this photo, thirteen strangers wave goodbye as they set off into the remote wilderness of the North Coast Trail. Each individual has their own reason for accepting this challenge. One thing that ties us all together is being affected by a disease that only happens by chance. Diabetes came into some of our lives as children who would not learn to handle this disease independently until many years down the road, some were teenagers having another complexity to mix in with hormones and emotions, and some of us were adults already comfortable in life and now had to learn a new language. When sitting by the fire🔥 , I think how fate played a role in bringing us all together. We are all sharing stories how the same thing impacted our lives in different, yet exactly the same ways. You can experience this feeling at any of the retreats or events put on by @connectedinmotion (catch me in California on Catalina Island on Oct. 27-29th). If you enjoyed the journey along the North Coast Trail with this team, please consider cooking a meal by the BBQ tonight and donating what you would normally spend going out. The donation link is in the bio (http://www.connectedinmotion.ca/2017-adventure-team/) #CIMadventures
Day 9 of hiking the North Coast Trail as part of the @connectedinmotion Adventure Team | all hands in. Who wishes they could be here? There is no experience like traveling with a group of powerful individuals who all understand what you are going through. We are hiking out today and checking the North Coast Trail off the bucketlist. Oh yeah, I also wore @crocs for the 13km hike #croctheworld Thank you to our sponsors @quantumcoffeeco @cvoptical @mec @clifbar @tandemdiabetes @medtronicdiabetes @glucolift @beyondtype1 @bridensolutions Photo most likely by @blairryan
Day 8 of hiking the North Coast Trail as part of the @connectedinmotion Adventure Team | off to the lighthouse! The reward for pushing hard yesterday is that we set up camp in the morning and get to run around in the afternoon. @revo
