52skillz.com is a video blog about freedom, curiosity, adventure and the power of learning through doing. Having a desire to learn something, and taking action on it! I am taking an entire year of my life to learn a new skill every week of the year and document it. You can watch it for learning, you can watch it for inspiration, or you can watch it to just be entertained.

Ep 6 | How to Dance on the Peak of a Mountain
Tap Dancing is Tough, Tap Dancing on a piece of plywood on the side of Mt. Hood is really tough. Dancing is one of my favourite things to do. If I could die an old man, dancing to a funky beat, with a bunch of other old people dancing around me, I would die a happy man. That said, the only style...

Ep 5 | How to Hitchhike (while knitting a Canadian flag)
No you probably won’t die, and yes, knitting is lovely. Growing up, it was rare to ever hear anything positive about hitch hiking. A united front of “it’ll get you killed” was shared between media, parents and schools. And for good reason. As a middle class white kid, growing up in rural A...

Ep 3 | I Ate Spicy Food for 70 days Straight, to See if I Could Finally Appreciate it
Is it possible to increase your tolerance for spicy food, and if so how long does it take? Since I can remember, I’ve hated spicy food. Sriracha was hot and a dose of Jalapeño would have me sucking back milk the rest of the night . Maybe its my masculinity feeling threatened, or a genuine ...
