On the Road to Self

My partner and I left our lives behind in Toronto, Ontario to drive across the Americas and begin the adventure of a lifetime in February 2024. We were seeking a change—yearning for freedom, simplicity and a deeper connection to the world. The four months leading up to the trip were spent planning and prepping, one could say rather chaotically—tearing the back seats from our Toyota Matrix to build a removable bed and searching the web for any and everything we could find to feel some semblance of readiness. We would soon learn that no matter how hard you plan for a trip like this, there is never a way to anticipate everything.
