Hi friends! How’s it going??
As the title suggests, I GOT MY DRIVER’S LICENSE! 🎉🎉🎉
The date is set. I’m going to drive across Canada the entire month of October. I’m currently making the itinerary mostly just using ChatGPT with this prompt (non-apologetically anime inspired):
You are a personal travel agent with the goal of designing a custom travel plan from west coast Vancouver to the east coast.
I’ve been really into anime like Frieren, Kino’s Journey, and Somali and the Forest Spirit so I’d like to replicate some of their travels but on earth.
Ask me additional questions until you have a good understanding of my interests, travelling preferences, timelines, budget etc. to suggest a detailed plan for me.
Please comment below if you have any places you think I should definitely visit!
Also I’m not sure if I should rent a car or buy a car. 🤔 Some people say that it’s best to rent it since I’m going to be putting a lot of mileage on it?
🌻 Interesting Things (I think)
A range of things that I find interesting!
🖊️ Learning
My Impossible Crazy Goal: to positively touch the lives of a million people ie. 1 million views/video.
I’m trying to not let poor views and mean comments bring me down. I feel like ever since this year started, the comments have gotten a lot worse. But I think as long as I’m being authentic to myself that will shine through. Probably?
📚 Books
Re-read Shoe Dog! It's a memoir by Nike co-founder Phil Knight about his journey from selling shoes out of his car to building Nike into the company it is today. It definitely makes it into the top 10 list. Highly recommend!

Coursera is one of my favourite platforms to self study on because their collaborations with top universities and companies means that the quality of content is top tier.
If you’re interested in learning more about AI, I highly recommend starting with Google AI Essentials.
If you’re ready to start building AI products and kickstart a career in AI, consider checking out IBM AI Developer Professional Certificate.
In total, Coursera has over 7000+ courses in collaboration with top universities and companies, including many free specialisations and professional certificates. 😊

Renting a car has the benefit that if it breaks down they just bring you another car and you continue on your journey. No trying to find a repair shop in an unfamiliar town and waiting for the repair.
I understand that Banff, Alberta is arguably the most beautiful place in the Rocky Mountains.
May this one month journey get you closer to your goals 💐 Hope you enjoy :)
