Getting Settled in Whistler, Canada
I would be living in Whistler, Canada for at least a month. I rented an Airbnb, bought groceries, and settled in. I also met a neighbor.
A Week in Whistler, Canada
I saw a bear on a hike and the weather was great! I explored my favorite fancy hotel and enjoyed the highlife. I also went on a nighttime club crawl. Some lovely girls from a bachelorette party accepted me into their group.
Game Night and Beer Tour
If was the dead season in Whistler, so I joined the game night at the library. I also went on a beer tour, which was fun! These were great ways to meet new people and make Whistler feel like a home.
Dating in Whistler
I met a few guys from Tinder while I was staying in Whistler for six weeks. Each guy made me feel like asking for dinner was too much. I think being taken on an actual date isn’t having too high of expectations.
Thanksgiving For One
I was in Canada, but it was American Thanksgiving. I celebrated by going to the Vodka Ice Freezer for four tastings. I also enjoyed my favorite restaurant.
A Night to Remember
I met a guy at the bar of a nice restaurant and we ended up talking for hours, going to different bars as each one closed. He ended up coming over and we spent 16 hours together.
Whistler Film Festival
I saw several films at the Whistler Film Festival in 2018. Some were amazing and others were just ok. It was fun to be there, though. I also enjoyed my new friends at the library game-night.
Friends in Whistler
I was able to make lots of friends from the beer tour, and game night at the library. My new friends and I played trivia and bingo at a bar. I was also hit on by a creep who take no for an answer.
Snowshoeing and Snowmobiling
I did snowshoeing with a tour that took us to the top of the mountain on the gondola. Then I went snowmobiling in deep powder snow! I had been waiting more than a month for the snow!

Throughout her wild 3-week journey backpacking 220+ miles in the California Sierra Mountains, Christy encountered freezing temperatures, pelting hail storms, and losing her way, but found trail family, incredible views, and experiences that would change her life forever. Hiking up and over ten different mountain passes gave Christy a lot of time to think about why her nine-year marriage was falling apart, gave her the chance to truly embody her individualism, time to make new friends, and the strength she would need on and off the trail. Her life could never again be the same.
This is one woman’s account of the three weeks she spent on the iconic trail.
From Readers Favorite: “... a compelling non-fiction adventure story of finding strength in the face of adversity and learning how to believe in yourself.”
