Adventures abroad, lessons learned, and beards.
About Me
My name is Tyler Jay. I’m a writer, traveller, music-lover, forest firefighter, and explorer. When I’m not Forest Firefighting in Ontario I like to spend my time traveling anywhere that sparks an interest in me. From Africa to Asia, Nepal to the East & West Coast of Canada, this blog serves as an account of the adventures, and lessons learned along the way
I’m just looking for a laugh, warm faces, and finding that lack of comfort common in foreign places that propels you to grow as a person.
This is an account of what I see, what I learn, people I meet, foods I eat, and beards I grow and see!
This blog is written to inspire, to inform, and to convince anyone who reads to take a chance and go and explore.

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joy I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.- John Dryden
Good luck, with love. N.
