Tofino and Ucluelet

On the 18^th of July I drove up to Tofino, passed beautiful and wild landscapes and gorgeous lakes. I stayed in a nice motel for two nights.

I stopped by at Kennedy Lake.

The next day I went whale watching in the morning, it was fascinating seeing these giants of the ocean. We saw humpback whales and grey whales, sea otters and sea lions.

I happened to meet two nice swiss girls on the boat, Manuela and Annina. They’re from Bern, my favorite city in Switzerland, Can you believe that, sometimes it’s a small world.

But the best part of the day was, when I saw a bear. That was definitely the highlight. I already saw two on my trip, but I never came this close. I’m glad I was sitting in my car, so I was safe, the bear was only about 4 meters away from me, feeding. I felt pretty excited seeing an animal, we only get to see in a zoo here in Switzerland, free in wild nature. Wow.I watched the bear for a few seconds and then we both went our ways.

I drove to Ucluelet and stopped by at Terrace beach.

And also saw MacKenzie Beach in Tofino.

This was the last post about my epic road trip. I am incredibly grateful for the amazing time I had, for all the nice people I met along my journey, for all the beautiful places I’ve seen and for all the memories I made. I am thankful for everyone who helped me make this trip possible, each in their own way. I am thankful for what I’ve learned, for the challenges that I had to face. Travelling alone is an experience I wouldn’t want to miss, it’s good to spend time on your own sometimes, it teaches you of what you are capable of, it helps you to know what you want and need. I know, very philosophic, but it’s just the way I feel about it.

Last but not least a huge thank you to everyone who followed me on my journey through my blog, I really had fun putting it up. I sure will let you know about upcoming trips, already have so many ideas running on my mind. I’m excited what the future will bring, I trust, that good things are ahead, I love the saying, “The best is yet to come”. I will post on Instagram on a regular basis, but For now I will say goodbye for a while when it comes to blogging…
