On June 4th 2017, I crossed the border of Canada around 7pm to come back home from a 1 year RV trip. I spent the most amazing year of my life with my wife and three children. For 12 months, I drove for over 35,000 km visiting 9 countries. We started our adventure in Quebec and went all the way down to Costa Rica. Unfortunately, we had to come back to Canada. I use the word “unfortunately” because all I wanted back then was to sell everything and keep travelling the world. The freedom, the …
