Those who wander are not lost.
David was immersed into the great outdoors at a young age, and his passion for nature and being creative gives him the fuel to keep trekking through his own journey. Whether he’s hiking up a mountain, taking his van for a ride through the Rockies, or sitting back and watching the sunset with his fiancé and pup, David was made to travel.
Tell us a little bit about who you are, and what you do for a living?
My name is David Barbeau, and I am from Calgary, Alberta. I went to school as a Mechanical Engineer and became an Irrigation Designer. That’s what I do during the day, Monday to Friday. But on the side, when I am not designing irrigation, I am a travel addict and a content creator with my fiancé Cayleigh.
What 3 words would you use to describe yourself?
Adventurous. Creative. Funny (sometimes)!
What advice would you give to someone else who is in the middle of creating their life story?
I would say, find what you love to do, surround yourself with people who support what you love to do, and that you enjoy being around, and I would just say keep driving to reach that goal. It’s a lot of fun along the way, so don’t forget to enjoy that journey to!
What do you love about what you do?
So, I really enjoy Irrigation Design, and since there isn’t a lot of irrigation being installed during the winter months, it allows me to take long periods of time off with my fiancé so we can go and explore the world together. But what I love about creating content is the freedom to be super creative and the ability to meet new people on our adventures. Me and Cayleigh have worked with some great people all over the world! When you go to a country and are creating content for local companies, you get to meet these people and really dive into their culture which has been a lot of fun. It’s a whole different way of travelling, and we both really enjoy that.
