Patti Shales Lefkos & Barry Hodgins
Return
Following rewarding careers as teachers and educational administrators in Vancouver and Richmond, British Columbia, Patti and Barry studied journalism and photography and then set out to pursue adventure travel. Whether canoeing the Yukon River, backcountry skiing in B.Cl’s Monashee Mountains, hiking in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides or trekking in Tibet and Nepal, they embrace the culture and environment of wilderness areas. When not travelling, they ski in the winter – downhill, nordic and backcountry – out of their home base at Silver Star Mountain Resort in the Okanagan Valley and paddle in summer – whitewater, canoeing and kayaking, river and lake tripping and stand up paddle boarding – from their Ontario island cottage.
