Just 80 days ago Port Alberni native Jaeger Mah arrived at the Vancouver Airport, not to board a plane, but to spend the next two-and-a-half months exploring YVR.
On Friday morning he will be leaving the airport buildings for the first time since he arrived.
“It’s been awesome,” said Mah of his experience.
“One of the best parts is overcoming my fear of flying cause I was terrified of flying actually,” he added. He said he was amazed by how much safety goes into flying and that has reassured him.

Mah said he stepped into this process without any expectation at all.
“I was just leaving it as an open canvas basically,” he said. “I was able to kind of paint it myself, and meet people.”
“I would say if I had to choose one negative, if there was one, it would be, what would it be? Maybe the early mornings, the really early mornings but that’s really nothing though,” he added.
Mah said he met travellers such as a cowboy santa, who was sleeping in YVR for five nights.
He is not sure what his next 80 day adventure will be, but he has a number of ideas and he’s looking forward to the future.
