I’m Barbara, and I define myself as an adventurer. I’ve been living in British Columbia, Canada for the past five years and I’m consistently inspired by its land, wildlife, and people.
I’m French but I prefer to write in English, so if you come across some weird sentence structures you’ll know why!
I haven’t been an “outdoorsy” person all my life. As a kid, I was shy and clumsy and the last to be chosen for team sports. As a teenager I would spend most of my time reading books, too bored by the real world and mundane conversations. I never thought I could be an adventurer.
As a young adult I started backpacking by myslelf. Then I introduced myself to the outdoors (making some mistakes along the way) and now all I want to do is to introduce others to the outdoors.
My last five years in Canada have been a rollercoaster. I fell in love, I fell on my head and sustained a traumatic brain injury, started my own business, learned how to sea kayak, built a camper van, spent the pandemic years thousands of kilometers away from my family, and spent more time camping than working.
Here, I want to share my backcountry adventures, big and small. I wish to inspire you getting outside and discover your backyard. I believe anyone can be an adventurer in its own way.
