Chris And Emilie

Hello! We’re Chris and Emilie and we travel the world together.

With just our carry-on bags, we spend half the year abroad — renting apartments in big cities, visiting rural areas, hiking, camping, and immersing ourselves in everyday life. The other half we're in British Columbia, Canada taking road trip in our Honda Pilot microcamper and volunteering with humanitarian organizations, often responding to wildfires and floods.

We pack light and keep our travel plans flexible . We seek connection in each place we visit, and every encounter expands our perspective on the world.

Thanks for checking out our channel!

We've been loving our time in Kigali, Rwanda, and once we recovered from our jet lag, we developed the urge to explore more of the country. First up? A game drive in Akagera National Park, with a goal of seeing all of Africa's Big Five in one day!

The Galápagos Islands are beautiful to see but they take some time to get to! To visit this amazing archipelago you first have to fly to mainland Ecuador. From there you go through inspections and pay additional fees to be allowed to fly to the protected islands.

The list of things we needed to do to get here seemed daunting to us at first, but it was actually pretty straightforward in the end. If you’re curious about visiting this amazing place, check out our upcoming videos, starting on Sunday.

We're in the beautiful Mexico City for a month and our list of places to see and things to do keep growing. At the top of our list is exploring the historic downtown center, including Zocalo and El Templo Mayor, visiting the Teotihuacan archeological site, taking a colorful boat called a trajinera along the canals in Xochimilco, walking through Chapultepec forest, visiting as many street markets as we can find, and trying lots of food. Check out our videos coming out through out the month on this amazing city!

Chris and I are leaving Vancouver for the next four and a half months to travel through six different countries and all four seasons. As we begin this next adventure, we must ask ourselves, “Is it bad to travel?”

It seems like there are more and more news articles and social media posts the dark side of travel and how over-tourism negatively impacts environment, population, and livability. But does that mean we shouldn't travel? We really hope not! As we start this trip, we're asking ourselves what our travel impact is, and what we can do to be more friendly travelers and reduce our footprint.

Long-term travel is different than just going away on vacation for a few weeks and the planning we need to do for a long trip takes a bit more effort.

We're heading to the doctor to update our vaccines and get meds like malaria pills, preparing to leave by making sure our home and finances are in order, checking our gear, and packing everything we need for our trip into one backpack each.

One week to go until we’re back on the road!!

Have chipmunks ever invaded your campsite and nested in your vehicle? Chipmunks are so cute when they are just running around, but when they decide to call our tiny camper home, they become really annoying and not-at-all cute. We’ve tried so many things from scaring them off to actually moving campsites, but these little critters are persistent! Our favorite way of keeping nesting chipmunks at bay is to use a bit of peppermint oil. The scent of the oil keeps them from starting to build a home in our car so we can spend the night sleeping instead of chasing them off our SUV camper! Check out our latest YouTube short for some of our tricks for keeping the chipmunks away from our camp site:
