Travelers!!

[Vanilla Skunk]

I've apparently been all over the north american continant when I was too young to remember.  Including Disney World.  I have pictures, but I really don't remember.

I grew up in a small town called Hudson Bay, SK.  The entire town consisted of jocks, and homophobia types.  Also, if you didn't hear a story in 5 minutes, you made one up.  There were all kinds of bad stories going around about me, that everyone believed, because everyone talked about it.  I hated it so much.

I do remember going to the states every summer, we'd spend a night in Minot, ND and then spend two weeks in Bismark, in a Motel 6, which happened to have a pool.  I was heavy into swimming back then, however these days I've been in a pool maybe 4 times in the past 8 years....

Then one year we started going to Edmonton, to visit one of my sisters.  The other sisters all kinda piled up into that area, Edmonton, Lloydminister, Sylvan Lake.  (I have 6...  two of them were in BC the whole time.)

Then the parents died, and my travelling became moving...  I lived in Sylvan Lake with one of my sister's, trying to finish school, but I couldn't stand being around her abusive boyfriend.  My parents were actually pretty quiet, if they fought, they kept it away from me, and they were together until they both died off.  I wasn't used to it, so I persued an internet relationship and moved to Spokane for a few months...  I eventually had to come back to Canada to take care of legalities, and I wound up staying here, in BC.

I've since been to the UK, and I've flown back to Sylvan Lake a couple times, and I've visited the island.  I've also been up to St. Agnes Well and Stave Lake.  Bonfire cooking is da bomb. :3

As a resident wanding fox, lets see what I can contribute...

I was all over the country and some of the northern states as a kid, but that doesn't reall count, does it? ;)

On my third week on the job at Kodak, when I was 20, I was flown across country to Rochester, NY for a week of corperate bullshit... that was my first travel experience as an adult, my first trip on a plane. It made me crave more.

Shortly after, I visited Montreal and NYC on the same trip over the course of two weeks, those two weeks having a very large impact on myself.

A little bit later, I went to Washinton DC and went on a road trip with a wonderful gent up the east coast and back, got trapped in a blizzard during part of it... awesome trip

then at 21 I quit the kodak job, bought a backpack, and wandered most of canada and a fair bit of the states... highlights including...

Seattle, Portland, Kamloops, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Thunderbay, Toronto (<3), Ottawa, Montreal, Pitsburg (AC, WOOO), Detroit, Chicago, Boston, Maine, NYC, Washinton DC.

Went to most of these places more than once :) Fucking awesome 4 months


And, yeah... lots of stories from these trips.

I'm 22 now, my eye on the world, and pondering maybe making another run at it...

I've been to Smithers as well - skiing, a few years ago. One of our skiing days got cut short due to winds so fierce that you could barely breathe while sitting on the chairlift without a hand over your mouth. The rest of the trip was good, though!

Well lets see for me it is a very short list. I have been to Mt. Baker in Washington, Anaheim California Disney Land, and Los Vegas Navada and that is about it for me for out of the country. For in country I have been to Vernon (Every year I think), Nelson, Osoyoos, Kamloops, Kelowna. Though me and a few friends are planing to go on a trip to Japan sometime in a couple of years when we have the money.
