Hey everyone, my name is Cliff. I’m currently living in Belgium and I’m 26. In my early twenties I had the opportunity to travel a lot. Some of the places I’ve visited are China, Russia, Vietnam, South Africa, Many countries in Europe, the US… These were always road trips, hiking vacations etc. However, two years ago I started working a job and soon after started my own little business, moved out of my parents’ house… Which basically meant I haven’t been able to go for a real travel since then. However, I have saved up some money and business is going pretty good so I feel like I’ll be able to make some of the journeys I’ve been dreaming of for so long. I’m starting to plan trips to Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Argentina… But I mainly want to go on hiking trips in the US and Canada and really go out there in the nature, hiking and camping. I’ve decided to join this forum to get inspiration from other people’s journeys, find new travel destination and maybe even find people to travel with. Most people I travelled with a few years ago have settled now and aren’t too interested anymore in undertaking longer travels. I think I can also inform people about the places where I’ve been and travel gear has always been my pet peeve, so I’ll certainly be able to provide worthy information on that. Hope to see you all around and I’m happy to answer questions you might have

Welcome from the northern Rockies. You'll find that Canada and the U.S.can be real hiking paradises if you know where to go. We can help you with that.

Welcome to the board. If you need any info on hiking in Canada, ask away.
On the other hand, if you want any info or advice on Japan, I planned and executed a jam-packed trip there last summer. Fantastic place, great people, and delicious food.
