Why everyone should take a career break...

Mount Robson

Thinking about taking a break from the 9 to 5?

Well, just do it! My partner and I decided to take time out away from the UK to travel and work in North America, and it was the best decision we could have made. After around a year and half livign in Vancouver, BC, we spent 6 months travelling. There really are too many highlights to list here, but I have linked some of the extra special places we visited below. And if you're thinking of doing the same, then get in touch for more hints and tips - we rated each campsite we stayed at!

Trip Highlights

Maligne lake

Maligne Lake, Jasper

Known for being home to a number of Moose. One of the best activities we did was take a boat tour on the lake, highly recommend!

Best Campsite

We loved Whistlers campsite just outside of Jasper. Very comfortable stay with new washrooms facilities and an amphitheatre for kids.

Sunchine Banff

Sunshine, Banff

Great for summer and winter. Stunning views all year round, and very handy to get to from Banff. I would advise you visit in early summer to see the apline meadows.

Best Campsite

I would recommend Tunnel Mountain. It's not quite as plush as Whistlers, but very convinient for getting into Banff, they even run a free shuttle bus.

Yosemite

Yosemite, California

So much to see and do in Yosemite. It's climbers paradise, but if you're not scaling these famous walls, you can sit with a beer and watch the climbers ascend El Capitan.

Best Campsite

We stayed at Tamarack Flats. It is a fairly basic, but well located for exploring the different areas of Yosemite National Park. It is located about 50 mins from the village.

Need any more convincing?
