About Foreste

Born and raised in Canada’s Yukon Territory, I developed a strong inclination for adventure at an early age. I grew up playing in the rich Yukon wilderness which was my backyard. At the age of 17, I left the Yukon to spend 5 months travelling around South America.

This coming-of-age experience left me hungry for more and I spent the consecutive 9 years surfing and diving around the world, with extended stays in Australia and Nicaragua. I eventually got a ‘real job’ and moved to Canada’s west coast to pursue and career in commercial diving, and later freelance writing.
