Crossing Canada With The Maplemusketeer Volume One - An Overview (June 2014) | Page 44

Most of my growing up on the shores of the Salish Sea happened on the Sunshine Coast looking across at Nanaimo. I later went on to live in Nanaimo for a few months early in my career as a Registered Massage Therapist, before moving back to my hometown to live with my Grandfather. This visit, I get to catch up with my friend Jesse Janzen and his roommate Ryan Jobson. They are two very talented musicians, Super Smash Bros. competitors, and all around great guys. I leave Nanaimo in the company of an old classmate who is returning up-island to Campbell River. Along the way, we stop and share a photoadventure and meandering conversations. In Campbell River I spend time with my Great-Aunt learning about local history/geography, her family’s tugboat company, and my maternal Grandmother’s family history.
