Mathieu

Thru Here

All you need is your two feet, a backpack, a hammock and a goal — that’s what Mathieu taught us.

Mathieu partook on one of the most surprising journeys of season one. He hitchhiked across Canada. He came to Canada from Belgium seeking more experience doing stand up in English, but decided to make use of his working holiday visa and use it to check out what Canada had to offer, before heading to his eventual destination, Los Angeles.

In this episode, we get deep. We chat about why we do the things we do, what influences us to prioritize travelling and what it’s like to hitchhike.

This is Thru Here’s final episode of season one. It’s been a blast recording interviews, producing episodes and hearing the feedback on all the stuff we’ve created. Stay tuned to our social media channels for extended content in the coming weeks, including blog posts, Q&As and more.

Thank you so much for listening this season. We hope to have a second season out by mid-September 2019.

Season one of Thru Here takes place in Riding Mountain National Park, a vast forested oasis among Manitoba’s hundreds of kilometres of prairie, and a destination for many travellers.

Thru 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 also used by Indigenous nations from Treaties 1, 3 and 4.
