A question I started asking myself a bit over a year ago was “what makes me feel alive?”. Theres lots of times in the day that could easily be thrown away, those are not the moments that make you feel alive.

I feel alive when I get out into the world and I do things. Activities like biking and snowboarding make me feel alive, creating things makes me feel alive, and interacting with awesome people makes me feel alive. So I decided I was going to minimize those throw away moments in life (watching a TV show for hours in end) and replace them with moments that make my heart skip a beat when I think about them. And here I am! Scared shitless and excited at the same time. I get to spend the rest of the year on an adventure, and I couldn’t be happier. This is only the beginning.

At the same time, I’m going to miss all of the beautiful people that I have had the pleasure to interact with over the last year in Calgary. To be honest, you guys made every week an adventure for me even though I was still in Calgary. I wish everyone back home a safe and happy year and if you want to follow my progress I will be posting at least a picture every two days so that my mom will know I’m alive, as well as some deeper reflections from time to time.

So, that’s it! Let’s do this!
