Welcome to Our Off-Grid Life – The Beginning of a New Chapter✨

There’s a certain kind of freedom you can only find when you step away from the noise — when you trade the rush of city streets for the whisper of wind through pines, and the glow of streetlights for the endless sparkle of stars.

This is our life now.

It’s not polished. It’s not easy. But it’s real.

Who We Are

We’re a small family with big dreams — myself, my fiancé Adam, and our three Siberian huskies: Helix, Keeva, and Storm. We made the bold decision to leave everything behind in southern Ontario and start fresh in the mountains of British Columbia. Our journey wasn’t without its hardships — before we even left, we survived a rollover accident that changed everything. But we made it here, bruised but not broken, determined to turn this dream into reality.

What We Do

Every day is an adventure — sometimes it’s sled dog trails through the forest, sometimes it’s figuring out how to haul water from the lake, and sometimes it’s just keeping the wood stove going through a snowstorm. We’re building a life from scratch — learning, adapting, and finding joy in the simple things.

Our dogs are at the heart of everything we do. They’re not just pets; they’re our teammates, companions, and daily reminder of why we chose this path.

Our Plans

We’re working toward a fully sustainable homestead — one where we can grow our own food, live with minimal impact, and embrace the rhythms of nature. We want to share our story — the wins, the failures, the quiet moments, and the wild ones — with anyone who dreams of a different kind of life.

From building our home and training our dogs to exploring the backcountry and learning new skills, our journey is just beginning. And we want you to come along for the ride.

Why We’re Here

This blog will be a mix of storytelling, behind-the-scenes moments, and the lessons we learn along the way. It’s about resilience, connection, and the courage to build the life you’ve always wanted — even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s messy.

We’re not here to paint a picture of perfection. We’re here to tell the truth about what it takes to live off-grid — the good, the hard, and everything in between.

Welcome to our journey.

Here’s to muddy boots, cold mornings, strong coffee, and chasing dreams in the wild.

I’ll do my best to keep this blog updated with our latest adventures, challenges, and small victories — along with plenty of stories about the dogs. You can also follow along on my other social media channels, where I share more frequent glimpses into our off-grid days. Whether it’s here or there, I’m glad you’re part of this journey with us!
