Born and raised in Prince George, British Columbia, Dana Meise spent 10 years of his life hiking the Trans Canada Trail, becoming the first person in the world to touch the country's three coasts by foot as he journeyed from the Atlantic to the Pacific and finally up to the Arctic Ocean, covering over 21,000 kilometres and going through 27 pairs of hiking boots. When his father lost the ability to walk, Dana was inspired to hike the entirety of the Trans Canada Trail and began his journey in 2008. In November 2018, he reached Tuktoyaktuk in the arctic – becoming the first person to hike to Canada’s three oceans along the Trans Canada Trail. During the journey, Dana posted consistently to his Facebook and Twitter pages, while filling dozens of journals with tales of his adventures. Using his now-intimate knowledge of Canada from coast to coast to coast, he has recently started a podcast and  plans to write a book and start a docuseries in the future. Along the journey, Dana built relationships with Stuart McLean, Walter Gretzky, a very unique adventurer from Belgium and had many experiences with the vast wildlife, wilderness and residents of Canada. Dana truly is the epitome of a Crazy Damn Canadian.
