Where is Matt right now?

DECEMBER 23, 2011 - Today I'm learning to dive at Fun and Sun Dive and Travel on Malapascua, Philippines (http://bit.ly/vAoQjP). In three days, we be swimming with thresher sharks. Merry Christmas to me :)
A poorly-planned stag party whitewater rafting expedition gets very cold when we flip the raft in a glacier fed river.
The other day I paddled a kayak out into the middle of Kootenay Lake to shoot this 360 degree panorama. I think it turned out OK.
Today I start my first long-distance bicycle trip: 1000 km from Vancouver BC to Cranbrook BC. This is how it begins.
When Vancouver lost the Stanley Cup playoffs fans took to the streets and started flipping and burning cars and looting department stores.
With well-deserved reputation as an outdoor adventure mecca, British Columbia can be summed up by it’s Latin motto, Splendor sine occasu (Splendor without diminishment).
