Adventures of a T1D
I’m an outdoor adventurer living in Vancouver, BC. I love exploring the outdoors all-year round, whether pushing for a summit or camping next to an alpine lake while challenging my Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). I hope to inspire others by sharing stories and I hope to be inspired by like-minded Type 1s within our community.
Probably skiing around Manning Park, BC.

2017’s Most Popular Hikes (on this site)
Congratulations! You did it. You have approached the year’s end. Where did all that the time go? Majority of my time was spent at school this year; studying, doing homework, and all that good stuff. It’s been a tough one for sure.

Whether you’re looking for something short & sweet or long & demanding, Manning Park has trails of all levels for park users to choose from.

Long daylight hours, golden sunshine, and wild flowers dancing in the (very cold) breeze made for a spectacular hike to Nicomen Peak. Read More

This post is not directed towards the average outdoors enthusiast – the ones who are respectful of the environment, plan ahead, follow the rules, and are not oblivious to their surroundings. It is intended for those who caused or contributed to what is already the worst wildfire season this Province has seen. And we have one more long weekend to get through.
Dear Outdoor User:
You naively parked in the tall dry grass, set up your campsite, started a fire, lit and tossed a cigarette, bombed around on your ATV, and/or left your stove unattended while you relaxed, explored, partied and/or headed off to bed. You either ignored or were willfully ignorant of the Province-wide fire ban and off-road driving restrictions. Read More
