A PLACE TO ESCAPE TO
Hey, I’m Andrea, and I created this space for anyone who does not know where to start. I am here to be your best friend, your biggest cheerleader and hopefully spark your curiosity about the world around us. Please pull up a chair, make yourself a cup of coffee and let’s dive right in.
About Andrea
Andrea is a Canadian Rockies based outdoor enthusiast. Self-described as a perpetual beginner, Andrea did not grow up exploring the world or even her own backyard. She started scuba diving at fourteen, hiking came in her early twenties to impress a boy (it worked), and her first overnight backpacking trip was not until she was twenty-four. At twenty-seven, she left her corporate job; the words “if not now, when?” were the reason given, and she has not looked back since. In that time, Andrea has visited 39 countries, broken a world record in the Swiss Alps and swam with humpback whales in the south pacific.
