Who are the Traveling Canucks? 

The Traveling Canucks are Nicole and Cameron Wears, a married couple living in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia on the west coast of Canada.

Travel and adventure is a common passion that has always played an important role in our lives. Our exposure to travel began at young ages, with Cameron living in Nairobi, Kenya at age 12 and Nicole backpacking around Europe at age 19. After living in Malaysia in 2004 and exploring SE Asia, we caught the travel bug and have since developed a slight addiction to world exploration.

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have traveled to over 50 countries together in the past 7 years, fulfilling many of our life goals and dreams along the way.

In the summer of 2008 we made a bold move. We traded our great jobs for a backpack and a long checklist, which has proven to be one of the greatest decisions we’ve ever made. That life changing adventure was the inspiration for creating this travel blog – to share our travels and experiences.

The goal for this travel site is simple:
To share our adventures, stories and travel tips from the around the globe

Travel means different things to different people. To some, it’s a one week vacation to an all-inclusive hotel in the Caribbean. To others, it’s strapping on a backpack with no plans or itinerary. Our hope is that you find travel inspiration and motivation through our stories, videos and photographs, regardless of your travel style.

After spending over a year on the road in 2009, we no longer have the desire to live out of a backpack indefinitely. We should not be mistaken for digital nomads on a trip that never ends. We have a home in beautiful Vancouver and go to work every day like most people – we just choose to not sacrifice travel for work, and vice versa.

We are career focused, young professionals that have a passion for travel, adventure and world discovery. We are proof that it is possible to build a career and family AND travel the globe and chase your dreams.

For those that don’t know, a Canuck is a slang term used to describe a Canadian. It is also the name of Vancouver’s professional hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks, hence the name of our travel site!
