When it comes to travel I love to be in nature most. I enjoy architecture, art, history, and culture, but nature is always what I connect deepest to. I don't necessarily need to know the names of all the birds, animals and vegetation to enjoy it. In actual fact I find the less head knowledge … Continue reading Vancouver Island, Esquimalt Lagoon.

Vancouver Island, Mystic Beach West Coast. (2014)
I have great memories of hiking through this forest and descending onto the beach. The beach itself was a tiny little beach that fostered a feeling cozy privacy. For the most part our hiking group was the only party on the beach.

Traveling to Vancouver Island (Oct 2014)
