Written on 09/27/2009 /// 5,035 × read /// 11 Comments
Finaly, i did it with my van from the westcoast (Vancouver island) to the eastcoast (Halifax and cape breton).
This trip was mindblasting for me, and i learned a lot.
It was an amazing time, in a breath taking, gorgeous country, lots of nice people and good burgers.
In this way i say thank you to everyone who supported me on my way.
Im pretty sure, that i´ll come back see more of the north and visiting my friends on places i already know.
But i want to share some of my tour impressions with you, enjoy.

Hey Drakaina,
Nice that you stepped by, to have a look on this page.
The reason why you saw the van, is that i sold it to nice guys, who are doing a tour like mine,
just in the reverse direction.
And i am just a person like everyone else, exept that i´m drawing slurgs and having
adventures form time to time.
Im now workin´ on the post which says who the slurgs are and where they comming from.
So, stay tuned , youre invited to come back to this page everytime.

Sweet!! thanks for your answer :)
I think your slurgs are very cool and I wouldn’t mind having one join me on one of the Drakaina paintings sometimes
Best of luck and I shall return!!

How did you get the photos so vintage looking or were they taken with a non-digital camera?
Comment by Mike /// 06/17/2010 @ 12.42 am
Ah I guess thats the word I was looking for Non-Digial is Analog lol, cool thanks! Im going to British Columbia again with a DSLR, but I have been using a simple point and shoot all my life, took a photography class where we used analog and had to develop but that was back in the day. I like how rich they look! Makes me want an old camera again.
