A travel
journal.

Six years of movement. The mountains, one year in a van, international retreats, grief, bodywork training, and eventually — London.

Life felt like it truly began when Mindful Earth began — in 2019. There were adventures before, but this is where the story I want to tell starts.

— Montana
Ontario, Canada Before 2019

Before the beginning.

There were adventures before Mindful Earth. A tree planting season in Ontario. A trip west after university — the first time I pointed myself in that direction. But this is where the story I want to tell starts: 2019, when something clicked into place and I began building something that felt like mine.


Canmore, Alberta · Canada 2019 – 2020

The mountains, and the beginning.

[Montana — this is your space to write about Canmore. The dream, driving across the country, what you found there, what shifted. Your words go here.]


Ontario · East Coast Canada · The Road 2020 – 2021

One year in a van.

[Montana — your van year. Ontario, east coast, what the road gave you, what it took. The freedom and the loneliness. Your words go here.]


Vancouver Island · Bowen Island · Tofino · BC 2021

The west coast, and my first retreat.

[Montana — Vancouver Island, Tofino in the trailer, Bowen Island retreat. The first time you held space away from home. What that meant. Your words go here.]


Nicaragua 2022 – 2023

Nicaragua — the first retreat.

[Montana — your first international retreat. Flying somewhere to host for the first time. What it felt like, what the community was, what it taught you. Your words go here.]


Costa Rica · Portugal 2023

Clarity in Portugal.

[Montana — Costa Rica briefly, then three months in Portugal. Getting clear on purpose. What you understood there that you hadn't before. Your words go here.]


Greece · Ireland · England 2023 – 2024

Sailing, and learning to hold grief.

[Montana — the sailing trip after loss, Ireland, England, the holosomatic bodywork training. Back to Canmore. What this period held. Your words go here.]


Colombia · Costa Rica · Nicaragua · El Salvador · Guatemala · Mexico 2023 – 2024

The Latin America loop.

[Montana — Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua again (second retreat), Ometepe, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico. What this loop was about, what you found. Your words go here.]


Nicaragua · 2025 2025

The second retreat — coming home to the work.

[Montana — the second Nicaragua retreat. How it was different from the first. What you knew by then. What the community became. Your words go here.]


London, UK · and beyond 2024 – present

Landing in London. Still landing.

[Montana — moving to London, the surfacing, three months off social media. The grief of your grandpa. Finding stability. Ibiza and the content work. What now. Your words go here.]

What's next

Greece · More of Europe · Wherever the retreats take me.
