Now I'm a Yoga Teacher and I love it! The way to get there is a quite interesting one... My Yoga Teacher Training was at Shanti Yoga in Nelson BC by lovely Joy and her great team. I learnt a lot during my training. From anatomy and how the muscle partnership work together to how to make Yoga accessible for everyone (beginners, elder people, people with injuries) and also about Thai massage and other things . I was lucky and had very nice and lovely classmates and two lovely roommates as well:...

After I left my wwoofing place in the mountains in Nelson a bit earlier than I planned I went back into the hostel Dancing Bear. My Yoga Teacher Training would start a couple of days later. So I had some time for myself and enjoyed the Indian Summer in Nelson. In the hostel I met very nice people like 67 years old power lady Margret who took me with her to her friends concert. I also used the time to go to some Yoga classes at my Yoga school and knew immediately that my decision to go there was...

One my friends came home to the wwoofing place and said that someone gave a speech there and asked for support to save Jumbo Wild because someone would plan to build a winter resort there. My friends said that they wanted to go there for 3 to 4 days and support the community there. I was in two minds... I was a bit confused what exactly we should do there because nobody knew it. They just wanted to go there. Also the idea of being in the wildness without anything scared me. In addition I feared...

My start in Nelson was quite good and I looked forward to my wwoofing place where I would stayed until my Yoga Teacher Training would start. That means for around 4 weeks. Actually that was the longest time I stayed at the same place so far on my journey. Well, I left 4 days earlier together with my wwoofing partner Sarah. I was very happy to work with her there. She is such an interesting, intelligent and nice person who inspired me a lot. One day she did Tarot Card reading for me which...

Nelson! I am finally there. So many people on my journey through Canada recommended to me that I have to go there and everything went just great when I made my decision to take the bus to Nelson. I arrived the weekend before I would go to my Wwoofing place. So I had enough time to settle in and discover the village. I liked Nelson immediately and loved the atmosphere there. It reminded me about Kinsale in Ireland. Very alternative and Hippie like. Lots of creative energy. I loved it!

I was very happy to be in Vancouver again and at the Jericho Beach after I changed all my plans and left Vernon. I stayed for 5 days in Vancouver and everything felt great. My Yoga teacher training in Nelson (BC) would start in mid October therefore I checked out what I could do until then. I had some ideas but I also check out what my agency SWAP based in Vancouver would recommend to me. Coming back to Vancouver was just great. On the next morning after my arrival I had a nice breakfast and a...

After 3 weeks of working in Whistler through Workaway I took the bus to my next job in a winter resort. I left Whistler with a bad feeling. I felt totally out of balance and didn't know what I want to do and what my needs are. I just listen to everything around but not to myself anymore... My stopovers were in Kelowna and in Vernon. In Kelowna I loved the imperfection in comparison to perfect Whistler. The hostel there was very social and nice. The only disadvantage was that almost everyone...

My next job waited in Whistler in British Columbia (BC) where I worked for 3 weeks in a lodge. My host Geoff wrote to me on Workaway when I was in Spain. It suited perfect because lots of people on my journey recommended to me to go to BC because it should be beautiful. They were right! Whistler was beautiful with lots of nature, lots of activities to do, very clean and very touristic... Actually I felt a bit like riding through a vast adventure park with perfect trails and perfect cut grass...

Finally I arrived after 3 days in Vancouver. I took the bus from Toronto. It was 5.30 am and I was quite tired. I knew that my hostel has a 24 hour reception which was great and I took a taxi to it. I just wanted to have a shower and couldn't proper think. After a great shower in my hostel and nice breakfast I went to the Jericho beach and just enjoyed the beauty around me. Yes, I did alright. Vancouver mirrored for me the image I had about Canada: lots of nature. I have to admit that I didn't...

It took the Greyhound bus from Toronto to Vancouver. It was actually the cheapest way to get there... Canada has no Ryanair and the train is even more expensive then a flight or bus. The tour took 3 days from the East to the West of Canada. I slept in the bus and yes, they have normal seats that means you can adjust the seats a little bit but not that much. Three days either without a shower or wearing any make up... The guys in my hostel in Toronto told me that I will love the first shower and...
