About us

Off Track Travel is an adventure travel blog authored by Gemma and Jean Robert (JR), founded in 2012 and grown into a business in 2015.

In 2017, we became full-time outdoor adventure bloggers. Off Track Travel is our number one source of income.

Currently based in British Columbia, Canada, Gemma is the primary writer and website editor while JR is chief photographer, driver and occasional writer.

We primarily travel in a converted van, bringing our two kayaks, canoe and well-worn hiking boots almost everywhere with us to explore the best nature has to offer.

For more details about our travel story, head to our about us page.

Hi, I am from Germany, having traveled to B.C., Canada regularly twice a year for the last 8 years (my son and family live here), I spent the second half of 2015 near Smithers, B.C., looking after my little grandchildren and socializing with the local people/friends. I still got a job in Berlin, Germany, but have signed up (with a renowned Canadian volunteer organization for a whole school year as a volunteer teacher assistant at one of the schools in Inuvik. This is my first time way up north (though long time ago I have visited for a few weeks with one of my sisters in Fort Resolution, NWT). Just curious, what kind of work are you thinking of, that I could contribute to? Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you Lilija
