Animal rights is the idea in which some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives and that their most basic interests—such as the need to avoid suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings.Its advocates oppose the assignment of moral value and fundamental protections on the basis of species membership alone—an idea known since 1970 as speciesism, when the term was coined by Richard D. Ryder—arguing that it is a prejudice as irrational as any other. They maintain that animals should no longer be viewed as property or used as food, clothing, research subjects, entertainment, or beasts of burden. Multiple cultural traditions around the world—such as Animism, Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism—also ...

3. Telegraph Cove Telegraph Cove
Telegraph Cove is a community of about 20 inhabitants, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, located approximately 210 kilometres northwest of Campbell River. It is a former fishing and cannery village that has become a launch point for eco-tourism. It shares the inlet with Beaver Cove which is 3 km up the inlet. The community grew out of a one-room station at the northern terminus of the Campbell River telegraph line. Next to the arts and crafts gallery stands the home of community pioneer Fred Wastell, whose father purchased most of the land around the cove. Together with Japanese investors, he established a chum salmon saltery and a small sawmill.

A Vagabond Journey - Part 1

Juan-Pierre and I decided to give up corporate life, sell everything we owned and travel for as long as we could through Canada (and other countries) without working for money. We bought a van that we had to give up after we crashed it, then used our thumbs to get from A to B.

We started in Vancouver, and this video depicts the first part of our journey, which covered Bowen Island, the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island.

Our adventures were endless, and before deciding to take this trip, I'm not sure we had ever really lived. The biggest lesson we learned was that the universe always conspires to support us, so long as we TRUST. The biggest surprise for us both was also that the emphasis on exploring new territories and places changed to being about the people. It was the people that made our journey so special and without them, the things that we saw would have meant nothing.

We had people give us money, without us even asking. We were picked up and taken in by people - from hippies to doctors - who fed us and looked after us for as long as we wished. We were never without a bed or food, especially on our journey around Vancouver Island.

Even after crashing the van, we spent a few days sleeping in it in the junk yard!

Other places we slept:
- invited to camp behind a pub outside of Nanaimo after the pub shut
- taken home from a pub by a local at Port McNeill, and put up for the night with food and fun
- picked up hitch hiking and taken home by a rich doctor whom we stayed with for three days at Courtney - he fed us and even gave us $200 as we were leaving, for helping him move some wood
- picked up hitch hiking on Hornby Island by hippies who took us home, served us croissants and coffee (and other things!) and invited us to stay for a week or so
- slept in a junk yard for three days after crashing the van (the inside was still liveable!)
- received dinner, a private room, bear tour and lift to the ferry the next morning by a hostel in Port Hardy in exchange for working on their website, and other e-marketing activities

We also tried out wwoofing, which is a great way to see a place without spending a cent. For those who don't know, it involves volunteering for a few hours per day in exchange for food and a bed. Brilliant! wwoof.org.

We hope you enjoy this first part of the journey which took us from Vancouver city to Port Hardy at the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Stay tuned for Part 2!
