Hi! My name is Alyssa and I am an ESL instructor, writer and travel enthusiast. As I was born and raised in Alberta, hiking, camping and just spending time in the mountains have always been some of my favourite things.
This blog began as a project to challenge myself to write more often, as well as a way to share what I am passionate about. After being sent back to Canada during the pandemic, I was disheartened to lose my momentum as an international traveller. Restless and anxious to keep travelling, I started writing about past travels and Canadian hiking adventures. Now, I’m back to exploring the world and you can read about my latest adventures in Greece, Italy and Mexico.
Exploring Canada
While I balance my time between working and travelling, I also enjoy continuing to write about local excursions. I keep a detailed log of my hikes and explorations around Alberta and other Canadian provinces. I hope my posts can inspire others to get out and explore both local and international wonders, whether or not they are the same as my adventures. Many travel bloggers are living the dream by travelling full time, but I hope to prove that it’s also possible to be fulfilled and adventurous without quitting your full-time job to globe trot.
When I am not travelling or hiking, I am usually writing, reading, or playing with my dog (you’ll see him featured in hiking blogs!). I also keep an Instagram page where I post videos and photos from my adventures.
International Travel
So far I have visited a total of 17 countries in North America, Europe, and North Africa. I keep a growing bucket list of places I wish to visit. Particularly high on my list now are Peru, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, and Türkiye, however I am prone to influence. I would love to hear your travel stories to know what other destinations should be on my list. Feel free to leave a comment or a link to a blog post about your favourite location.

Great idea to share your outdoor adventures with a blog and good inspiration for the rest of us too! We may try Castle Mountain lookout this weekend.
Enjoy the hike! Dress warm, it’s getting cold in the mountains already.
Hi, I stumbled onto your blog while I’m researching to start my own blog on food/travel(hike). I’ve enjoyed reading your posts. It’s like somebody is just casually talking to me. I think the way you set up your blog and the way you write is a good starting point for a novice like myself. Please keep on blogging, even when “the COVID-19 situation has been resolved”. Meanwhile, I’ll get off my butt and get my blog going …. thanks for the inspiration !!!
Aw that is so nice to hear! Good luck getting your blog running!!
