Welcome To The Alternative

aBOUT Wisdom From the trAIL

Travelling is an journey of discovery that never ends. It is a journey that teaches us about the world and ourselves by testing us and showing us things that we never knew existed.

Throughout my 7 years of travelling and living around the world, I’ve come to realize that gaining knowledge and wisdom is at the heart of every travel experience. 

I have found great joy in sharing information about places and personal discoveries I’ve encountered in my life, and this idea of lending a helping hand by sharing information I feel is valuable and potentially helpful has ultimately led to this website.

Wisdom From The Trail is a travel blog dedicated to helping the fellow traveler, the soon to be traveler, or anyone looking for inspirations or an alternative to daily life. Life is too short and too precious not to go for what you want, and hopefully what you’ll find on this website will help you along in your journey to get there.

Who am i?

Hi, I'm jamie. Nice to meet you!

I’m a 32 year old Canadian from Edmonton, Alberta. I’ve been travelling the world and living abroad, on and off, for the past 7 years. I’ve been to 15 countries during that time including Australia, Thailand, Nepal, Colombia, to name a few.

I am passionate about learning and teaching. I’m a firm believer in the ‘Growth Mindset’, where continuous learning is essential to sustained happiness and meaning in life. The combination of these things has bred a passion for knowledge accumulation and the desire to share the relevant, impactful information and ideas. 

A few mentionable hobbies of mine are:

  • Scuba Diving
  • Photography
  • Personal Development
  • Playing Sports (Mostly Golf and Slow-Pitch now a days)
  • Exploring Nature

I'd love to hear from you!

One of the best things about travelling is sharing experiences and stories with others. Just as I share my stories and ideas with you, I hope that you to share yours with me! Let’s inspire and explore together.
