About Fel and Wes - Feather and the Wind

Feather and the Wind was created in 2015 as a means to help other travellers have better experiences abroad. We were backpacking through Europe and Mexico at the time and really wanted to create an outlet where we could share our travel advice and inspiration with others.

Four continents, 20+ countries and hundreds of video edits later, Feather and the Wind has evolved into a travel media and video production company. We specialize in creating beautiful content that inspires viewers and readers to see more of the world.

When we’re not on assignment or uncovering new hidden gems, you can find us in our hometown of Montreal, Canada.

WESLEy - FILMMAKing & VIDEO EDIting

I was born in Vancouver, Canada and am the youngest of three siblings. My dad was born in Hungary and my mom is part Danish and part British. Growing up I had no idea I'd end up spending so much time in Europe, where all my grandparents were born. In 2013, I took a last-minute job interview in Edmonton and ended up moving there to work. That's when I met Fel.

Before I started travelling, I didn't think I really had any skills besides driving a concrete mixer truck. Fel was always reading travel blogs and even bought a camera for our first trip but I didn't feel as passionate as she did. We backpacked through Europe and then all over Mexico for 6 months. I managed to learned Spanish but I still felt lost.

It wasn't until I edited our first video that I felt like I had found a passion for something. I started following the best filmmakers, trying out different techniques and setting goals to edit something every day. I've made hundreds of videos since that Mexico trip and joke that the camera is an extension of my arm. I've worked hard every day to improve my videography and editing skills and hope to inspire others to create what they love. My love for video led me to start Winter Summer Media, our very own video production company in Montreal.

FELICIA - TRAVEL WRITING & PHOTOGRAPHY

I was born in Toronto, Canada and grew up in a very close-knit Italian/Mexican family. I loved the photography courses I took in high school but decided to go to university for Business Management at Ryerson instead. I was learning depreciation methods in accounting when I would have rather been developing in a dark room. And this whole do-what-you're-good-at-not-what-you-love thing went on for years.

At 25, I was Canada's first Finance Management Trainee with Starwood Hotels & Resorts. I moved more than 3,000 kms away from all my friends and family to Edmonton so that I could to start a finance career in the hospitality industry. Everything changed for me in Edmonton. I met Wes there. I came to terms with the fact that I may never be happy as an accountant. I stopped drooling over people's travel photos and started planning for this blog. We saved every penny, quit our jobs and set off in 2015 on the first of many adventures.

More than anything, I hope this little corner of the internet inspires others to do more of what makes them happy and to consider travelling to places off the beaten path (as cliché as that sounds, it's true). With each post I write, my goal is to help whoever is reading it in some way. I want you to take the right colectivo in Mexico, fall for cities you can't pronounce in Poland and even consider travelling to work for free.
