Hello everyone, my name is Blake. Welcome to the eventful blog that I’ll be continually updating with super long and drawn out stories or things that I find interesting when I need to post here. Currently, I am residing in Victoria, BC, although a portion of my time is spent in Northern British Columbia in a small town known as Smithers, BC, 1200km north of Vancouver. A large part of my family is made up from members in Smithers as well as the surrounding areas in the Bulkley-Nechako. As for school, this is now my fifth year attending Brookes Westshore. Time flies! I remember making this exact post at this time during the start of MYP4. Some of my interests include fishing, hiking, hunting, exploring, and skiing, essentially anything that has to do with being outdoors and enjoying myself. Fortunately, I happen to live in a place where all of this is possible which is so awesome to have as opportunities. During the winter I ski up at Mount Washington and travel up north, during the summer I fish and play in Smithers and at Horne Lake, during the spring I’m finding new trails and majestic lookouts, and during the fall I’m hunting around for grouse, seeing the leaves change colour, and dreaming about ski season. Canada rocks, man.
Most of my adventures happen among the island, but some also happen up north too. I’ll never pass up the opportunity to go on an adventure, whether it’s just going on a bike ride into town or going on a weekend ski trip into the mountains. They always prove to be memorable, no matter how small the adventure may be, they all hold a place in the things that I love doing. Everyone who is around me knows that I’m always talking about the experiences we’ve had, as well as new exciting ideas too, and it is a distinct characteristic about me that’s always there. The little things bring me joy, like listening to a new song I’ve found, seeing a pretty sunset, or catching my first sockeye on the lake with my Grandpa at Babine. I can’t wait to share more about my experiences in the future.
