About-Us-Narrow

Hello, we’re Isabelle and Antoine! In 2017 we sold our house (and everything in it), quit our engineering careers and moved into our self built campervan. We’ve been on the road since then and every day is an opportunity for a new adventure; we’re chasing our dreams and hopefully it inspires others to do the same!

WE DID IT!
The house is sold and we live full time on the road! It feels UNREAL! We’re somewhere between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans:

First stop in Yukon: Mount White.

Exactly what we needed after a loooooong drive! 750m elevation gain, 8km hike. And yes, it's as cold as it looks! 😁 Perfect weather for this dramatic landscape 😍

We made it! 😃 Ready for new adventures ✌️ .

We drove 1,800km since we left Squamish, and we're starting to wonder if we went South instead of North 🤔😄 This is a well deserved stop on our last stretch to Yukon 👌
.
After 4 years carrying ALL our belongings in the van, we finally decided to rent a small storage place to put the off-season gear away. So we traded our snowboards for a paddle board (and a backup wheel and a few other things), and we're glad we did 😊

SWIPE ➡️ Half-way to Yukon! Lot's of good riding options along the road 🤟 We had to navigate around the wildfires and the smoke was pretty bad, but it looks like it's finally behind us 😊 TO BE CONTINUED...

After more than a year of making and cancelling plans over and over again, it finally looks like things are going to be alright... We're VERY excited to hit the road again and explore new places, it's been a while! 😀
.
We'll be heading north up to Yukon, dodging the heat, the wildfires, riding our bikes in the midnight sun (or what's left of it) and hiking along the way. We've never been there so we're not sure what to expect, but that's the whole point of going to new places isn't it? 😄
.
Mandatory disclosure 😐: The border with Alaska is still closed, so we're not planning to go at the moment. We'll be following the travel advices closely and we're willing to turn around if we have to (we both received our two doses of vaccine, so we're currently allowed to travel to Yukon without self-isolation).
.
See you out there!
.
Isabelle and Antoine ✌️
