Drea

Originally from Newfoundland, I spent years guiding in northern Ontario as well. As it goes, my grandfather and great grandfather were also guides. From one coast to another, I have full appreciation of the natural beauty of the island while it still stands tall. Along with my passion for the wilderness, I love to play music, write and do photography. I volunteer for the Sooke Coast Guard auxiliary, am fully trained in and instruct wilderness and marine first aid. I believe the west coast of Vancouver Island is one of the most amazing places on earth. To experience the beauty and serenity of the west coast is a day you will never forget. To be immersed in the wild, rough and untouched, overgrown, rugged, and powerful, is truly a unique and precious adventure. Imagine the aromas you breathe in while you watch the sun setting, the Olympic Mountain Range, the thousand year old trees, hung with moss and lichen, growing over sandy beaches at the edge of the coast. Definitely an experience you don’t want to miss!
