Dammit I miss summer already. #bcfreedomtour #hellobc #canoe #fishing #travelmore #vsco #canoeing #summervibes #netflixandchill #seasonfinale #playmore #wanderlust #nomadlife #vagabond

As you do. _ #mullet #joedirte #bcfreedomtour #travelmore

Sliding into homebase like...wait, wrong sport. In all seriousness though, I learned a few things on this crash. 1) Rotten cedar logs are surprisingly really cushy to fall into. 2) If you think you’re gonna crash, you will. 3) But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it anyway. 4) When someone points a camera at you, make it memorable and share it with others. #tryagain #bcfreedomtour #singletrack #loam #mtbbc #brownpow #ifyouarentfallingyouarenttrying #bruisedbutnotbroken #mountainbike #mountainbiking #outforarip #kaliforlife #crashoftheday @kaliprotectives 🎥 :: @spankyrabbit Catcher :: @christinedern

This is France Laird. I met her on the dock of a small lake outside of Rossland, BC...compelled to stop because of the sheer beauty on the side of the highway: autumn colors and golden sunlight surrounding the calm waters of a quiet lake. France pulled a trout out of the lake as I was walking up with my camera. And as if i lost track of reality, I started taking photos of her... only asking afterward if that was okay. She said yes, of course, and within 30 minutes we had talked about life and fishing and being free spirited women in our times. We shared more soul-filling energy in those 30 minutes than I think both of us had experienced in awhile. She offered me her fish—the only one she had caught in a few days—and I hesitated before accepting her gracious offer. She thanked the fish for its bounty, gutted it, cleaned it, and wrapped it in a bag before handing it over. After we parted ways, I grilled it up an hour later on my tailgate along the side of a highway. Semis passed at 60 mph but the most stunning sunset drowned out the noise. France and I have since exchanged a few emails (and photos), and I will most certainly see her again when I head back to the Kootenays...a place that she described perfectly: “These mountains wrap around your heart and don’t let go.” #bcfreedomtour #travelstoke #travelmore #exploremore #vsco #kootenays #hellobc #fishing #eatwhatyoucatch #vagabond #nomad #trucklife

Not to spoil the beans, but @sunshinecoastbc is what loamy dreams are made of. Stoke factor is high when this place (and these people) are involved. 💥 💥 💥 #brownpow #sunshineCoast #mountainbike #mtbbc #ridebikes #mountainbiking #singletrack #beautifulbritishcolumbia #hellobc #pnwonderland #cascadia #travelmore #adventuretime #travelstoke #bcfreedomtour #funemployment #bikelife #trailbuilding #outdoorwomen #playoutside

I started the summer desperate to rediscover my stoke. Needless to say, through a lot of trial and error, I’ve found it. Killer closing day at @whistlerbikeprk. 📷: @clinttrahan #spreadthelove #spreadtheshred #outforarip #funemployed #ridebikes #mtbbc #mountainbike #mountainbiking #girlsgonerad #girlswhoshred #summervibes #brownpow #sendit #shrednation #bikeseason #ridenowsleeplater #whistler #onlyinwhistler #whistlerbikepark

Take me back to these views, these people, and these moments. The grey and gloom that’s covering Whistler is contagious, and I’m already itching to leave less than 24 hours after coming back. #paradiselost #bcfreedomtour #whackamole #golfswing #kootenaylife #sunset #ontheroad #freespirit #hellobc #travelmore #vsco #outdoorwomen #funemployment #freelance #trucklife #radventures #iamsj #andshesdopetoo #golfcourse

I haven't showered in 6 days. Maybe 7. I've gone to sleep asking what time zone I'm in, and woken up wondering what town I'm in and where I decided to park for the night. I'm spending my days at coffee shops, breweries and libraries to poach wifi for hours on end as I dive back into my freelance business...and thus my freelance life. I've dined with numerous strangers this week, and laughed hysterically when no one was around. (When you take the time to go out of your routine, life is crazy and wild and funny.) I've taken my curiosity down a few dirt roads. And trails. And lakes. I found my own private island this morning...paddling in a sudden and unexpected headwind and needing to get closer to shore. I picked apples from a nice man's yard for lunch. My summer has been fuller of life than it's been in years combined. I'm sad to see it end, but stoked when I remember that I'm not ending this adventure any time soon. #bcfreedomtour #girlsgonerad #iamsj #outdoorwomen #summervibes #travelmore #trucklife #mountaingirls #freelance #vagabond #nomadiclife #nomad #roamtheplanet #roadtrip #ExploreBC #livealittle

Same view, 3 ways. Twilight, northern light, morning light. Canada, you sexy beast! You put on one hell of a magic show in the span of 12 hours. #bcfreedomtour #beautifulbritishcolumbia #hellobc #britishcolumbia #ohcanada #canada #northernlights #alpenglow #morningvibes #lakeview #goodnight #goodmorning #choosemountains #getoutside #campvibes #vagabond #trucklife #nomadlife #adventuremore #vsco #canonphoto #mountainview #mountainlife #funemployment #freelance #playoutside

Speaking of a colorful winter... I am beyond stoked to debut the result of bold ideas, creative power, and hard work from a collection of talented women. To say the @pallassnowboards crew is excited for winter is a severe understatement. (Shameless plug: Head over to the Pallas IG page for info on this new lineup.) #ruleyourmountain #beyondchairlifts #snowboard #snowboarding #splitboard #splitboarding #splitboard_com #earnyourturns #backcountry #backcountrysnowboarding #choosemountains #andshesdopetoo #iamsj #winteriscoming #winterfun #sheshreds #girlsgonerad #craftnotcrap #craftmanship #madeinutah #madeinamerica #madeinusa #rosietheriveter #manufacturing

On one hand, I really don't want summer to end. But on the other hand, winter is so colorful. Who else is itching to hop on one of these hard charging, handmade beauties this season?👋 Support women in manufacturing.

When you get iced by the Trail Gods on a solo ride and no one is around to see it, did you really get iced? Yes. You did. And you better own up to it. #bcfreedomtour #isthisreallife #mtbbc #hellobc #singletrack #brownpow #chainlove #iced #mountainbike #mountainbiking #shutuplegs #britishcolumbia #beautifulbritishcolumbia #ohcanada #revelstoke #adventuretime #doit #ownit

Cruisin' into the weekend like: #bcfreedomtour #canoe #canada #beautifulbritishcolumbia #britishcolumbia #hellobc #ohcanada #pnwonderland #rowrowrowyourboat #weekendvibes #fridayfeeling #apres #beeroclock #beachvibes #adventuretime #adventuremore #dirtbag #roadtrip #freelancelife #netflixandchill #camping #campvibes #mountainlove #crocs

Creative partners have very intuitive relationships. For instance, copywriters should always trust that their art director has their best interest at stake. #freelance #copywriter #worklife #worksmartnothard #mybrainhurts #funemployment #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #friyay

Help! My body has returned to work, but my brain is still funemployed. #finderskeepers #lostmymind #freelance #backtoreality #livingthedream #summervibes #freelancelife #vagabond #bcfreedomtour #nomadlife #funemployment #writerslife

The Golden Hour gets a redemption shot every day. #sunset #penticton #hellobc #exploremore #explorecanada #ExploreBC #canada #ohcanada #cyclocross #gravelgrinder #cycling #shutuplegs #mtbbc #chainlove #goldenhour #BCFreedomTour

Golden hour happens twice a day, but it's rare that I see them both. Mornings are pretty, but they sure do suck. #idratherbesleeping #BCFreedomTour #ontheroad #iwokeuplikethis #sunrise #mountainview #mountainlife #vagabond #roadtrip #trucklife #needcoffee #wakeup #dirtbag

Paddle harder. The weekend is coming into view. (Weekends don't matter if you're funemployed, but it seems profound and inspiring and totally unhelpful for the other office monkeys out there.) #funemployment #canoe #mountainview #ohcanada #ilovemountains #britishcolumbia #beautifulbritishcolumbia #hellobc #smokeonthewater #summervibes #weekendwarrior #BCFreedomTour #canoetrip #pnwlife #outdoorlife #ExploreBC #exploremore
