A year ago, fresh from a backpacking trip and with a new perspective on life, I moved back to Fernie. The last time I lived here I was so eager to leave that returning left me wondering how I would feel; jumping from Vancouver and the foreign countries of Central America to a small town, I could only think of the stark contrast between them, and I was afraid I would encounter – among other things – boredom.
In fact, the very opposite happened. I found myself needing more time to do the things I wanted to do and to explore the places I wanted to explore.
