CURRENT MISSION

To expose my family to different folk & cultures from across the globe all in an effort to peak their travelling bug and social awareness!

ABOUT ME

We are a family of 8, our most recent family feat was running a relay together 600kms from Vernon to Vancouver over a mountain pass to raise over $23000 for the Canadian Cancer Society! Check out our website www.prestongosselinkidshelpcancer.webs.com/
We enjoy all things outdoors, and all things Jack Johnson :-)
Self sustainability is a big part of our lives...we live on a small acreage close to town, we have a horse, large garden and raise most of our own food!We have a second house on the property that is available to "couch surfers"

PHILOSOPHY
