ABOUT

After a short road trip up the North East Cost of Quebec, Canada... we were sold on Van Life. An idea blossomed; What if we build a van and drove from Alaska to Argentina, the entire contenant of America.  


Here begins our adventure into the unknown. Follow us on our journey to discover the world.

THE PLAN

Departure: November 14, 2019

We don't really have a plan! We know that we will leave from Montreal on the East Coast.

 

We have more than two years to explore the continent of America with as many detour as possible.

Winters coming so its time to go.

See you on the beach!

We were in Arizona when Canada issued a statement to come back because of COVID 19, so we headed North. National Parks had been vacated but remained open, empty and free. We had an off-grid van and didn't need to be in big cities, so we chose to visit these parks on our way up while exercising social distancing.

own ways. I dropped her off at the airport

and it was time for the adventure to continue.

I entered Canada with all the supplies I needed to quarantine

for 2 weeks. Thanks to my friend Eugenie, I was able to find

a place to park with access to electricity. The Canadian

government followed up with me via calls every other day

and after the 14 day quarantine, I was a free man. I visited my

brother Phil, on the Sunshine Coast. Made a few new friends,

and was on my way.

Prince Rupert -  Terrace BC
Terrace - Meziadin Junction
From there, I drove to Bear Glacier. This was hands down one

of the most memorable stops on my list. I arrived early in the morning and

that's when I met Luke, an adventurer/film maker who was keen to 

explore the glacier with me. I pumped up the paddle board, he pumped up his 

pack raft and we made our way to the base of the glacier. The goal was to find 

a glacial cave. Despite the dangerous terrain, we made it to a massive glacial cave and to this day, it remains one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Due to COVID19 I was unable to enter Alaska so I turned around and kept driving.
