BC Overland Rally Presentation

BC Overland Rally Presentation

Picture
By the time I pulled in, I was excited to see how a presentation would go with no photography to accompany. With my Jeep, Kayaks, Packraft and Paddles as a backdrop, it was about the pure stories. I was worried when I was first invited to present at the BC Overland Rally. Not being able to look over my shoulder to my imagery to help keep me on track, remind me of stories and distract if I fumble. However, the presentation seemed nothing but the opposite, flowing out with easy. Like having a conversation with hundreds of people I could see the smiles, here the laughter and gasps and nothing but my pure words. The questions had me knowing that each was paying mind to each word and story. As the weekend went on, I was overwhelmed by the people that would come up thankful, and sharing their own stories of adventure and mental illness. Creating genuine and intriguing conversations, as well as new friends and connections. The goal is always to connect others to my journey, to the wilds, and in turn, to themselves through these presentations, and yet again I was reminded this is a path I must take and is always worth it.

​Huge thank you to Byron @explorelements for capturing the moments!
