Thursday, February 23, the North Columbia Environmental Society presents climArt change, a multi-media show that celebrates the possibilities in the face of climate change. As the author of the Alpine Club of Canada’s “State of the Mountains Report,” I’ll be giving a short keynote address to kick off the evening. This talk will introduce the theme of the evening, in addition to highlighting the importance of local knowledge – what we learn from people who have the experience and observations gained from intimate experiences in the wild places.

But, it’s not always easy to blog on-the-go. So, here are some tips to help you create a memorable travel blog, both for yourself and your readers.

But, which items am I thankful I didn’t leave behind?

Here’s just a sampling of the highlights from this past year! Thanks to everyone that have made my dreams a reality.

Hello from Pokhara, Nepal, where I am taking a few rest days after just completing the trek to Annapurna Base Camp! Our group has also hiked through Upper Mustang and done an unsupported trek around Dhaulagiri. I’ve been blogging along the way on The Campsite in case you’ve missed it! Some very exciting news about [...]

Off to Nepal!

Hoping I'm not forgetting something...

My final preparations are being made for my 9 weeks in Nepal! With a Monday departure, I’ve finally wrapped up any remaining contracts and started putting items aside to pack. I’ll be trekking in Nepal with my husband and a few friends in a variety of areas, including Mustang, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu and Everest (no climbing, though!) I’ve just written a longer post for my blog, The Campsite, if you’re curious to know more.
