AUTHOR
Oleksandra Budna grew up in Ukraine. She now lives in Toronto with her family and works as a
communications professional for a social justice and health equity organization. When she moved to
Canada 20 years ago, she brought with her memories of childhood summers spent with her
grandparents in a tiny village in Ukraine and hikes in the Carpathian Mountains. Love of nature
continues to drive her outdoor pursuits as she explores incredible landscapes across Turtle Island, on
foot and in a canoe, trying to capture the beauty of these lands and waters in pictures and words. She
shares her stories and photography on her Gone Camping blog. Her photos and essays also appeared in the Blank Spaces magazine, The Globe and Mail, and she was long-listed for the CBC Non-Fiction Prize in 2020.
