Hi, I’m Sylvia! I’m a Polish-born Canadian living in Edmonton who swaps law enforcement work for mountain trails. With a background in Economics and zero social media training, I’m figuring this out as I go. When I’m not working or hanging out with my teenage daughter (and favorite roommate), Stella, you’ll find me hiking, chasing alpine lake reflections, or skiing. The Canadian Rockies captured my heart completely—and I’m here to help you find a little calm and wonder out there too. Life is wild; let’s explore it together.

Thousands of tired , nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigation rivers, but as fountains of life. – John Muir
