About me
Background
My Background
I have always been happiest when traveling and hiking. Every corner of our planet has a story to tell and a place for me to plant my foot!
For years now, I have been working toward what I thought was my dream goal—a stable career in a fancy office (basic, I know). In 2022, I achieved that and more, but it didn’t feel right. Something was still missing, so I did some reflecting. I then took the dramatic route and quit my job, moved back home, and bought a one-way ticket out of Canada.
I’m on a new mission now to see as much of the world as I can, and I have recently made it a top priority to become rich in experiences rather than money. My #1 goal is to hike across a continent and share my adventures with like-minded people. Leading up to this big goal, I hope to partake in as many thrilling and adrenaline-filled activities as I can.
What is in my Blog
I’ll be writing about my travel experiences, reviewing tours I have joined, and trying to include my findings along the way. I hope that Shannon’s Landing can give others the confidence and excitement to experience the world a little more every year through fun stories, easy tips, and thorough itineraries. Cheers!

Mission
My Mission
I want more travel friends, so my mission is to inspire everyone here to do something that scares them, and hop on a plane.
My Journey
I’ve been collecting my travel badges since I was little. I’ve always looked forward to new sights, crazy stories, and adventures that kick me far out of my comfort zone. I enjoy the challenges that travel brings on a day-to-day basis from hiking in the great outbacks in Canada to the world wonders in Peru. Exploring much of Asia on a motorbike road trip, then shifting gears to the nomad lifestyle. I plan to forever keep searching for enriching opportunities around the world, and grow my understanding of what it means to live a full life.
