Tomorrow is Race Day

Its here … the true test of all my training for the last 3 months … the Sun Run is in less than 12 hours …. and I am scared!

I know that I can do this. Everyone else knows that I can do this … but I am still freaked out.

The weather here has been really odd as well, it shat snow last night and was sunny and blustery today, only adding to my insecurity about this 10km race I am now facing ….

But there is no backing out now – Its GO TIME – Wish me Luck!!!

Who is Tiny?

Spunky, outspoken, adventurous & travel addicted vegan gal. I have a passion for the great outdoors, meeting new people, trying new things. I am a book & music junkie & take continuous steps to open my mind & participate in further education.

I have road tripped across Canada, visited almost ever US State, soaked up the sun & culture of the Caribbean isles, sought out my roots in the British Isles & backpacked my way through Western Europe. I have recently returned from four months on the road where I experience so may amazing things including working on a farm in northern Namibia, camping with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari, exploring the waterways Okavango Delta, white water rafting down the mighty Zambezi River, hiking up Table Mountain, skydiving over Mossel Bay, getting lost in Bangkok, snorkelling the coral reefs of Kho Lipe, reading on the beaches of Kho Pha Nang, bathing elephants in Kanchanaburi, basking in the awe of Angkor Wat, becoming conscious the misery of the Killing Fields, learning to ride a moto in Saigon, having clothes tailored in Hoi An, giving morning alms in Luang Prabang, taking the slow boat up the Mekong River, hanging out with hippies in Chiang Rai & learning the art of Thai Massage in Chiang Mai.

I hope to continue exploring the world, to help others do the same in a way that leaves no footprint.

I am an honors graduate of the Travel & Tourism Diploma Program at the Canadian Tourism College and work in Sales and Customer Service for the Vancouver based tour company Beach Travellers

Words of the Wise

“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac

“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine
