Adventures

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
-Lao Tzu



Across Newfoundland


Across Newfoundland is an adventure I created by connecting multiple trails. First off we have the East Coast Trail that follows the coast for a beautiful 300km. ​Then we have the T'Railway which is an old railway that was transformed into a recreational trail. After that, we have the Long Traverse and the Northern Traverse that crosses Gros Morne National Park. This trail start and finishes at the sea.

Jordan Trail


This long-distance trail was established in 2015. It runs for about 650 km from the north to the south of the country. It passes through well-known highlights like Dana, Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Red Sea. ​It is said that Jesus, Moses, and Mohamed have all three walk part of the trail. Even if some does the trail as a pilgrim, you don't have to be religious to enjoy the rich history this trail has to offer.
