meet Lauren
hey there!
Great meeting you! My name is Lauren Yakiwchuk and I love to walk and hike!
I love exploring the great outdoors and hitting the trails as much as possible.
Therefore, I’ve created this hiking blog, Ontario Hiking, to showcase the best walking and hiking trails throughout the province.
i'm a full time blogger and content creator
I write for my travel website, Justin Plus Lauren, which showcases my travels with my husband, Justin. Of course, I also write for this hiking blog that you're visiting right now!
Most of my days are not spent travelling around the world, but at home in Southern Ontario, Canada. I've lived in the town of Dundas (also where I grew up!), Hamilton, the village of Port Credit (Mississauga) and Georgetown (Halton Hills).
