Meet Nico and Sofie. They\u2019re two friends from France who lived in Toronto for a bit and then decided to see the expansive country of Canada by van. They played it by ear and planned as they went, taking information from their hosts and people they met along the way.\n\nWe recorded this episode in early June, when Nico and Sofie were passing through, with an end destination of Vancouver Island. It was kind of cold and there were a lot of bugs, but we had fun chatting about what it takes to modify a van, what it\u2019s like to plan (or in their case, not plan) a cross-country road-trip and how learning by doing might be the best strategy.\n\n\nThru Here releases new episodes every Thursday afternoon. \n\nSeason one of Thru Here takes place in Riding Mountain National Park, a vast forested oasis among Manitoba\u2019s hundreds of kilometres of prairie, and a destination for many travellers.\n\nThru Here is recorded on Treaty 2 territory. The land is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene Peoples and the homeland of the Metis Nation. The land is used by Indigenous nations from Treaties 1, 3 and 4.\u2028\u2028Check out thruherepod.com for extended content and to learn more about Riding Mountain National Park. \u2028\u2028While you're there, sign up for Thru Here\u2019s e-newsletter to stay in the know. \n\nFollow us on social media, we\u2019re @thruhere on Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
