Introduction
The Idea
This blog will cover the exciting adventures of Team... eerrr... we don't have a team name... as we travel across Canada to humm... an undenfined location in western Canada. Note: our final destination is still unknown to us as I am writing this because we intended to move to Calgary but recent job offers have us pondering the idea of moving to the Vancouver area instead.
This blog will cover anything and everything of our everyday life as we try to find fame and fortune in a new part of the country. I'm not really sure exactly what the blog will become as time goes by but for now it will primarily cover our 5,000km road trip due west (I've said that already didn't I?)
The Cast and Crew
So how will we achieve this life experience and exactly who's "we"?
Well my name is Brian "Gunner" Lavallee and I am a UNB graduate of 2006 in Mechanical Engineering. I grew up in a small community in northern New Brunswick. I have been living with my parents this past summer working a summer job while trying to find full time work in the area to get relevant working experience. I never really planned to stick around New Brunswick from the day I begun university but I figured if I could get a few months of work experience and save a few bucks living at home, why not. Regardless to say, my job search did not go as well as I was hoping for so the idea of moving out west seemed more and more profitable.
Outside of work and writing about myself, I am an outdoors kind of guy that enjoy a variety of sports and activities. I have made it a personal mission to not ease up on physical activity during the winter since for the first time in 5 years I don't have school to eat up all my free time. I will be known as... 6Pac Shakur haha! There's no need to continue babbling on about myself because most of the readers already know me and to those that don't, my future posts should reflect on who I really am.
My partner for this trip is Robert "Road Hammer" Elliott. Rob and I became friends during my first year of university. He is a Civil Engineering graduate. He's originally from Scotland but his family moved to St. Stephen, NB, and the government never bothered to kicked them out... yet. Rob hates his job and wants to see the world so we decided to move out together. The rest of life is a mystery to most of us because he speaks a language no one really understands. if you should be interested of hearing his side of the story of most of our adventures, you can check out his blog.
So I hope that I will see you all again on a regular basis and feel free to provide feedback, comments... any sign of life will be appreciated. And remember when Gunner and Road Hammer are in town; prepare yourself for a long sitting at the local pub.
