FML Adventures

01/12/2024

As many of you know, I was the previous owner/operator/guide of an adventure travel company called FML Adventures (forests, mountains, lakes). We previously ran multi-day tours between Vancouver and Calgary to allow travellers from around the world to experience the highlights and hidden gems of this beautiful country. We are no longer operating tours, and it is now time for me to sell my beloved assets.

What I am looking to sell:

~ 2006 Ford E450 bus: 17-seater, 100,000km, V8 gas engine
~ 2020 Haulmark 5x8 enclosed utility trailer
~ Camping gear for up to 10 people: Tents, sleeping mats, sleeping bags, camping chairs, SO MANY FLOATIES, coolers, and everything needed for cooking/eating/cleaning

I am also open to selling my brand assets to the right person/people who are looking to start or expand a similar type of business. This would include the branding for FML Adventures, our website, our Instagram , and photo + video content from 3 summer seasons of tours.

I believe this bus would be incredible for…

~ Keeping it as a tour bus for a similar type of operation
~ Doing an epic bus conversion
~ Shuttle bus for local sea to sky businesses
~ Anything your creative mind can think of!

Please share with anyone who may be interested. For serious inquiries, please email me at [email protected]! The bus is currently in storage in Squamish, so please get in touch if you’d like to view it.

Hello my favourite humans & happy November 22nd to you all ✨ aka my DAY OF BIRTH.

On this day, every year, I take some time to reflect on how far I’ve come and take a look at where I’m going.

And wow - the gratitude and excitement I feel is truly overflowing.

I have been on this journey with FML Adventures for 3 years now, and despite the rollercoaster of ups and downs, I simply would not be the gal I am today if it weren’t for the incredible opportunities and people FML has brought into my life.

Thanks to FML Adventures, I have been able to create the most beautiful relationships with incredible humans from around the world, create memories to last a lifetime, locked in the partner of my dreams, explored the most beautiful landscapes from coast to coast of Canada, and have grown so much as both a business owner and an individual.

As I look ahead at this journey with FML Adventures, I truly can’t contain my excitement because I get the opportunity to introduce more and more travellers to the beauty of Western Canada and that is more than I could ever ask for ✨

Thank you to everyone that’s been along for this ride - whether you’ve been on an FML Adventure, are coming on one, have purchased merch or are supporting us from the sidelines - I love and appreciate you all and wouldn’t be here without you.

Cheers to many more laps around the sun with FML 🥂

Story time 👇

Aussie legend and myself (self-proclaimed Canadian legend) met on a (Ride share app in BC) with Alaskan legend , and this squad just hit it off IMMEDIATELY ⚡️

On the 45 minute drive from Squamish to Whistler, the three of us quickly got to know each other and I got to tell them all about FML Adventures and our epic summer adventures.

Fast-forward a lil' bit and Salar dipped to Alaska, but Tess and I got to connect again on the mountains of Whistler, and then again this summer, on an FML Adventures tour 🚎

Being new to Canada, Tess felt that joining this trip would be the perfect way to discover some of the highlights & hidden gems of this country, and spoiler alert - she was right.

Tess joined the 8-day Vancouver Island Adventure, and our squad soaked in every moment of the week-long adventure around Vancouver Island. We , , and (this is a joke but we really did do all those things). The quick wit, the swims, the vibes, and her kind and genuine soul are just SOME of the reasons of why we are so grateful to have welcomed Tess to our FMLy this summer.

Re-introducing the gal behind our female-founded travel biz - lil' Lis 🌞

The idea for FML Adventures came to me in 2018 after backpacking through South East Asia, New Zealand and Australia. During my travels, I found that there were SO many affordable and convenient travel offerings available for young adventurous backpackers looking to experience the best of these countries, and it became oh-so clear that there was a huge gap in the Canadian market for just that. Starting a Canadian adventure travel company felt like the perfect way to combine my passions for business and travel, and since my return to Canada in 2019, I have been working on bringing this biz bébé to life.

This biz journey has been full of ups and downs (especially when we talk about trying to launch a travel company in a pandemic 🤯), but it has been one of the most gratifying and fulfilling journeys of my life.

Having the opportunity to introduce travelers to the beauty of this country is truly everything to me. And witnessing our travellers' joy on tours makes it all worth it.

Today and every day, I am beyond grateful for:

✅ Having 7 official FML tours with Brent the Bus under our belt
✅ The most epic dream team (both behind the scenes & on tours)
✅ The return of international travel 🤠 This summer, we welcomed travelers from Germany, Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, UK and US onto Brent, and that makes my heart so damn happy
✅ The 40 travellers that have booked an FML Adventure and trusted us to deliver an epic Canadian adventure
✅ All the support from friends & family over these past 3 years
✅ The opportunity to continually discover the beauty of Canada and our jaw-dropping forests, mountains and lakes alongside our travellers
✅ This company - FML Adventures, and all the beautiful opportunities and people it has brought into my life

As we move into 2023 (& beyond 🤠), our goals are bigger and better than ever, and we can't wait to show you what we've got brewin' up.

Our 2023 waitlist is open, and we'd love for YOU to become a part of our FMLy.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for following our journey of becoming Canada's #1 Adventure Travel Company.

Testimonials like this make it all worth it ✨

Our TWO-TIME traveler first joined the FMLy in July by signing up for our 15 day West Coast Best Coast tour from Vancouver to Calgary. They had been living in Vancouver for a year, and had yet to experience the true beauty of our West Coast (until coming across FML Adventures 😏)

After an epic first week on tour exploring Tofino, Whistler and the Okanagan, Zoé decided to spend their last week in Canada back with the FML Adventures fmly by joining our end-of-season 8 day Vancouver Island Adventure.

You know you're onto something good when travelers book a second tour while on their first tour, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to keep the good times rolling with this one.

Our 3 weeks with Zoé were oh-so special, with their energy, bracelet making, and killer one-liners forever lifting our moods, and we're so excited to visit our lil' Frenchie and their horses in the near future 💙

THANK YOU ZOÉ FOR JOINING THE FMLY, WE LOVE YA!
