Let's turn to some armchair travel in this bonus episode of Think Outside! This episode is a recording on the launch of Michael Schauch's book A Story of Karma as part of the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival's Fall Series.

In A Story of Karma, Mike dreams of climbing an unknown mountain in the Himalaya of northern Nepal. What unfolded in the mountains forced him to question his values, his own identity and and eventually resulted in meeting a little girl named Karma, which was the most profound encounter of his life. Little did either of them know that from that moment they would completely change the trajectory of each other's lives.

Think Outside - Have dog, will travel with Lesley Choyce
play

03/12/23 • 21 min

Lesley Choyce is a 70-year-old year-round North Atlantic surfer, the godfather of transcendental wood-splitting, and the award-winning author of over 100 books. His wife, Linda, a former high school principal who has fearlessly commandeered knives from teenage malcontents, usually guides her husband away from quixotic quests, but she is fully on board for this one. As for Kelty, the couple’s West Highland terrier, he’s always ready to give up on chewing shoes and chasing pheasants for something more exciting.

Join the Choyces as they hurtle around the U.K. in search of history (all kinds), good food (mostly Indian), quirky destinations (the smaller and weirder the better), and places for the dog to pee. All while waiting for the imminent arrival of new grandchildren back home in Canada. Ever wondered what a Nova Scotian surfer/wood-splitter/Renaissance man/Westie owner thinks of the U.K.? Now you can find out.
