It's been almost 8 years since I've made a trip for longer than a week. Tomorrow I'll leave for Haida Gwaii, an island that is a two hour flight north from Vancouver. The three week bike trip for which my dad and I signed up, will start in Sandspit. We will spend three weeks on our bike crossing the Rockies and ending in Calgary, while the organization TDA global cycling takes care of our luggage and prepares all our meals. All we have to do is pack up our tent, eat, bike, eat, bike, put up our tent, eat, sleep. Repeat. 18 times.

So I figured this trip was a good reason to dust off my old waarbenjij.nu blog and keep everyone who is interested posted on my experiences during this adventure.

The bags are packed. All that is left for departure is flying home (I'm currently at the airport in Kelowna where I gave a talk) and saying goodbye to Kai tomorrow morning :(. It wouldn't surprise me if that will be the hardest part of the trip.
I can't wait to give you an update from Haida Gwaii!
