2022 is here! Happy New Year!!
Last night I rang in the New Year at a beach fire in Tofino with all of my friends. Our one friend DJed music all night, while the rest of us stood around a fire or danced in the snow. How many people get to say they celebrated New Years Eve in the snow, around […]

Big Tree Trail, Meares Island
If you’re in Tofino, B.C. and looking for a fun day-trip, I would recommend the Big Tree Trail on Meares Island. The trail is located a short 10-minute water taxi away on Meares Island (one of the many islands that surround Tofino). The island is located in the Clayoquot region and is where the main […]

What Christmas Eve Looks Like to Me!
Merry Christmas Eve! Crazy to think another year has passed since last Christmas… Christmas Eve has only been celebrated on December 24th in the Steele household for the last 5 or 6 years. Most years previously, Christmas Eve was celebrated sometime between December 18th to 22nd, as my dad often had to work over Christmas. […]

My Favourite Beach Towns
As I’m sitting here staring out at Cox Bay Beach in Tofino, it has me thinking of my favourite beach/surf towns I have visited.

All have lush, green forests surrounding them, are located […]

Trying New Things
After the holidays, I have to start looking for a summer/fall job in a new place. For some, moving somewhere new and having to essentially ‘restart‘ can be stressful and hard, but I find I it quite the opposite – I get excited about new beginnings and new adventures. Over the last six or seven […]

“The Guide To Life After University” Podcast Review!
I don’t really enjoy podcasts, I find them hard to give my full attention to, and when I don’t, I miss a lot of what seems to be critical information. I’d much rather press shuffle on my downloaded Apple Music library and listen to whatever plays next. And this isn’t to say I haven’t listened […]

2021 Reflection
As 2021 comes to an end, and we head into 2022, I have been reflecting on some of the big things that have happened over the last 12 months. I think it is easy to paint the whole year as bad and just another year of a global pandemic, but it is important to acknowledge […]

Restaurants You Shouldn’t Miss in Victoria, BC!!
As many of my friends and family know – I love food. I get excited for meals when I know I’m going to be having something new, or an old favourite. So each time we leave Tofino and head to places with more restaurant options, I get really excited and make a list of where […]

“Must-sees” between Tofino and Victoria
In the last two years, Nathan and I have done MANY trips between Tofino and Victoria in the car. I think it’s safe to say we’ve hit most of the “must-sees” on this drive, which I am going to share with all of you! Canoe Creek and the Giant Cedar Trail. About 60 kilometers from […]
