0:00.0 | What's up Motivators? Taryn here with NTK, no triathlon, Kim. |
0:04.6 | And we are just back from like a first vacation in ever. |
0:11.4 | Yes, since our honeymoon. |
0:13.4 | Yes. Yeah, we went to Tafino. It's kind of a staycation. |
0:17.6 | Tafino is two and a half hours across Vancouver Island from us. And for some |
0:22.5 | context, Vancouver Island is basically the size of Florida. It's thought of to be even Canadians |
0:29.1 | like us thought that we were coming to this little island that was off the coast of Vancouver |
0:34.1 | and you could look across the way and you'd see Vancouver, but you just |
0:37.9 | happened to be on the island so it was more affordable. No, Vancouver Island is huge. |
0:42.9 | Major, major cities all the way across the aisle. And then Tafino is very outdoorsy, very remote. |

1:24.4 | Yeah. So we went to Tafino, went there for five days. Most people just go for a weekend. |
1:29.9 | And one of the biggest things was I wanted to check out from work a little bit because since the |
1:35.2 | start of the pandemic, I've hardly had a day off. And it was just time. Time to have a little bit of |
1:41.0 | a staycation. And I want to learn to surf because I've found out that the |
1:46.1 | things that I absolutely love are things that are easy enough to learn but very, very hard |
