Following a deeply personal loss, Charlie Reynolds sold everything and set out to travel the world by motorcycle, deciding to live as though he has only 30 days left.
The road took him north to Kitimat, British Columbia, one of the unforgettable stops along Route 16🏍🌄 Here, chance encounters and thousands of kilometres of adventure quietly reshaped his understanding of time, connection, and what truly matters✨

A letter to my younger self. A ride toward something deeper ✉️🖊
The "Hey Kid" video follows a rider Steve Milum, a long-time Prince Rupert local, whose motorcycle became more than a machine. On the roads of Route 16, it became a way back to something he’d almost forgotten: a sense of freedom, connection, and clarity found only in the wild open spaces beyond the city 🏍️🌲🌊
Adventure. Beauty. Peacefulness. Healing. You’ll find it all riding Route 16✨

When riding Route 16, wildlife sightings are a part of the experience! Keep your eye on the road and stay alert! 🐻
Moose, bears, eagles, and more can appear when you least expect it.
❗️ Remember to observe from afar, and don’t feed the wildlife❗️
