My journey began in the mountains of Rossland, BC. I worked hard away from the area for my youth establishing my career in communications, coming back for a fantastic job that unfortunately I had to leave in 2024 when I was diagnosed with melanoma which became metastatic and incurable in September of that year. 

 

Having moved back to the Kootenays, the pace of life is slower and things like travel are harder to do. My illness is one of slow progression now, and given that when I am on treatment, it's just pills, that offers me a lot of flexibility to travel and see the world around me.

 

Since my diagnosis, I have found myself navigating a  path that is more resilient than fragile.  This blog is a testament to that journey —a collection of memories of the places we go and the travel I've done since my diagnosis. 

​

I also want to use this space to plan future travels. I'm hoping to build a community of people who face life struggles including cancer, but are also finding resilience in the options they still have at their fingertips. I hope to inspire others to travel and see the world.
