My name is Colin, but you can call me Col. I love creating Asian cuisine in the great outdoors and my goal is to show how anyone can whip up delicious meals while on their own adventures. Throughout my culinary journeys, I’ve often found myself stuck in a tent during pouring rain, envying those in their warm and dry RV’s nearby. On this trip, the poor weather flipped the script, giving me a taste of comfort and shelter as I embarked on my very first RV adventure and I learned a lot along the way. From spring rains to a surprise snowstorm, our RV allowed us to explore without limits.
One of the things that made me want to try travelling by RV was being able to explore the outdoors while having the safety and security of being able to return to a warm bed and shelter from the unpredictable elements. Coincidentally, my very first RV trip gave me that opportunity. In just 10 days, we were pummeled by spring rains, hit with an unexpected snowstorm, and finally, June weather decided to arrive as we headed down the Icefields Parkway in Alberta. Only in Canada.

One thing I learned is that RVing allows for so much more flexibility than I am typically able to have on my other adventures. As we drove along unphased by the elements, our crew kept commenting on the fact that our trip would have been cut way shorter if not for our RV. As someone who’s used to tackling big hikes and trying to accomplish as much as I can in a day, the RV lifestyle was a great balance of having a relaxed space to rest but also granted accessibility to get out and explore outside of the vehicle.
Food has the incredible power to unite people, and I want to blend the joys of outdoor living with the magic of bringing friends and fellow adventurers together through a shared love for food. On this journey, I had the privilege of adventuring with a close-knit crew of friends, and even the unpredictable weather couldn’t dampen our spirits. Just like how food can be an adventure for the tastebuds, travelling by RV with friends adds an extra element of adventure to every mile of the journey, reminding us that the journey itself is as delicious as the destination.

We started and finished our trip in Vancouver, BC, and to Alberta to visit Banff, Jasper and the Icefields Parkway. Some highlights and recommendations:
Parking was tricky at first and finding designated parking in highly populated areas was something that became easier with practice. Another tip would be to plan really early, there’s actually more people out in RV’s than you think, so campsites get booked up quick. That being said, as I’ve mentioned earlier, the best part about RV’ing is the flexibility. If you are the last-minute type, or the weather alters your trip, an RV allows you to pivot and change plans with ease. After all, you’re travelling in your home on wheels.
Class C Motorhomes are easily recognizable by the over-the-cab area that is often an optional sleeping area. This type of RV is built on an automotive van frame with a wider body section attached to the original cab. Amenities are similar to those in conventional motorhomes with large kitchens, spacious living areas, large bathrooms, and a separate bedroom.
