 Across Canada  TOUR

Courage to Change

Hello,

its Jess.

This is "My Love Story" tour.

Where I learn what it means to love one's self and each other. One conversation at a time.

​

Welcome to my ultimate road trip across Canada as I chug along in my converted van named Lola and kitty, Mandy. Hitting up book stores along the way. Planting seeds of courage through conversation and sprinkling a little bit of love as we explore and play.

Author Signing Event at Indigo

Let me introduce you to my hype crew​

Camping in Fundy National Park

Lola

A 2015 converted Sprinter Mercedes Van.

We have experienced some rough terrain, epic sunsets and rises together. Always catching the eyes when we are bopping around the towns and cities we visit. She's a great conversation starter.

​

Mandy my Kitty co-pilot

Mandy

My 15 year old Dilute Tortie, I swear she thinks she's a dog.  We have never had a cat quite like her. So easy going, socialable and has adapted very well to the world of van life. Some book stores even invited Mandy to join me for my book signings. She's always a big hit when she comes in. She loves book stores just as much as her mama.
