Live Free Adventure Pant
]]>Born in Toronto and raised in Calgary and Singapore, I fell in love with the city life, mountains and tropics, and inherited my parents' love for world travel. Working full-time as a mechanical EIT has brought the "weekend warrior" out of me and my husband Jason to fulfill our love for outdoor adventure in the little time we have. I launched my travel and lifestyle blog Lauren's Lighthouse in 2017 and it's taken me on an unexpected journey and given me a greater sense of purpose. I spend my free days exploring the Rockies, curating content and guides from my travel experiences and building my relationship with God. In the winter, you can find me gliding across Alberta's frozen lakes as I rediscover my love for skating!
[split]Too many! But I'd definitely have to start with Saigon, Vietnam and Fatima, Portugal: the birthplaces of my parents.

For the love to Flow. It’s what makes me come alive.
As an adventure athlete, it’s this state I pursue. I’m in love with pushing the edge of what’s possible and seeing what comes up and how far I can take it; mentally and physically, for now, and the rest of my life.
As a coach, I teach a foundational training method created to achieve physical and mental readiness for not one activity or sport alone, but a number of outdoor activities and extreme sports.
This method fuses together several modalities including kettlebell training, calisthenics, yoga and metabolic conditioning. The result is a well rounded athlete with range, ready to perform at their peak level, who doesn’t back down from, but rather sees challenge as a way to hack into the hyper-focused, meditative state of flow
By stretching skills and reaching towards higher challenges, such a person becomes an increasingly extraordinary individual.

He strives to create images that capture a moment in time and a sense of place. “Willie is the type of person who circles ‘sunrise’ on the calendar. There’s intent behind his photos, a forethought that comes through not just in framing or composition, but in the overall “feel” — the undeniable sense that you’ve been invited on an adventure.”
