ABOUT
Wayne Wilson
The bulk of my career was spent in the Museum/Archives field where I learned quickly that the only people who are ever remembered are the people who wrote something down. I wanted to be one of those people, and Travel Journals have sparked my imagination in so many rich ways.
Something I’ve been doing since before I left the Museum work is join various crews on long-distance wilderness canoe trips. We use 26’ voyageur canoes that hold 6 people, and it has been a wonderful set of trips that has taken me down the MacKenzie River in Canada’s Arctic to the Yellowstone River in Montana, USA - the longest un-dammed river in the lower 48 states!
I’ve been sketching and painting since high school, and it was during that first paddle trip that I started keeping Travel Journals in earnest. Since that 6 week paddle trip down the Columbia River system, I’ve filled lots of journals that recount the places I’ve been, the people I’ve met, and the events that made those journeys so compelling.
My passion now is to get YOU doing your own Travel Journals.
I want you to be remembered in the future too!
So don’t be forgotten to your children and grandchildren – or even to the longer history of your community. Set out to let your descendents know something about you - where you travelled, who you met, what gave your life light and meaning, and where you were when those revelations hit you.
Imagine sitting down with a grandchild 20 or 30 years from now and thumbing through one of your Travel Journals. Imagine showing them the quick watercolour sketches and insightful descriptions you wrote. You will inspire them.....I know you will!!!
Now.....that’s a legacy worth leaving, isn’t it?
Have fun with your Travel Journals!
Happy sketching and writing and painting!
