Where to Hike in Northwestern Ontario

Since I adopted my Thunder Bay lifestyle change – I’ve been hiking a lot. With Scotia in tow, we spend every 2-3 days hiking along Lake Superior, at a Provincial Park, or up a Mountain. So Since I am doing all this hiking, I thought I would share some of my favourite hikes with you. In case you ever make it to this beautiful part of Canada.

Photo Diary: A Family Reunion

This year was the first in a few years that I was able to attend my family reunion. The Reunion is for my mother’s side of the family: The Osipenko’s. My grandparents had 5 children, and they all married and had a total of 13 cousins. My brother and I being two of them. And oh yeah – some of those cousins have kids of their own. And dogs – Because they are family members too. And this is how our weekend went.

My Thunder Bay Lifestyle Change

I have managed to come home to Canada once a year. Sometimes for only 2 week stints a few times a year, or maybe for a whole month. Most of these visits had an ending scheduled; I had somewhere to be – I had a next step. But currently, I sit in limbo. Waiting. My lifestyle morphed quickly into an unhealthy one as I let failure consume me. But I needed a change – This is my Thunder Bay Lifestyle Change.

Ode to Home: Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

I come from a small town. A small town in the Middle of Canada. With a Population of 120.000. A town that most people in Canada don’t know it exists. Tourists don’t often visit, and when they do, it is only as a place to stop for the night before they continue 715KM West to Winnipeg or 1400KM East to Toronto.
