Are you wondering who Charlie Gillingham is and what he’s all about? Well, I’m Charlie Gillingham, and I’m here to share a bit of my story—no fluff, just the real stuff. Whether you’re curious about the outdoors, lifelong learning, or what makes me tick, this is the place for you. So, grab a cup of coffee and dive into the journey.
I spent many years in the pipe manufacturing industry as an employee for the first 30 before retiring in 2014. After that, I contracted with that same company for a few years as a trainer, working a few months each year, but that wasn’t the end of my adventure—it was just the beginning.
I started writing, exploring the outdoors, and diving into the incredible possibilities of AI technology—you know, that stuff that makes your head spin if you’re not careful. However, I use many forms of AI because I know how to use them. It keeps things simple, real, and very helpful.
Now, you might be wondering—what exactly do I do? I create lots of content and use tools like AI to make the process even more fun and effective. My blog, SunnyDaysGo, is where I share my passions, like camping, fishing, family, and even a bit of travel. Let’s break down my interests and what makes me tick.
Charlie Gillingham: Lifelong Adventurer & Content Creator
I’ve always loved a good adventure. Whether travelling across North America or spending time in vibrant Mazatlan, Mexico, I live for experiences that bring me closer to nature. Travel and Outdoor Adventure are a significant part of my life—not just as a hobby but as a way to connect with people and share incredible stories. You know, those tales that make you say, “Yeah, I wanna do that.”
🌲 Camping and RVing
I’m all about camping and RVing. Setting up camp, grilling food, and sleeping under the stars in our RV doesn’t get much better. I enjoy showing people how to make their camping trips easier and more fun. I share everything I know, from the best gear to tips for staying comfy.
🎣 Fishing Techniques and Tips
Let me tell you, I love fishing. I find peace in casting a line and waiting for a bite. But it isn’t just about relaxation—I also share fishing tips and techniques so others can enjoy the sport as much as I do. From fly fishing to catching trout in Alberta’s rivers and streams, I get into the details because every cast counts.
🧠 AI in Content Creation
I find AI in content creation exciting. I use AI to enhance my articles, ensuring readers get value with every click. You might wonder if I need AI, but I believe in working smart, not just hard. It’s about giving my readers the information they want without wasting time. I couldn’t do this without AI.
🌱 Health and Wellness
Life isn’t just about work and play. Health and wellness are other interests that hit close to home for me. I’m all in, whether exercising, staying active with outdoor walks, or keeping a healthy mind. I share what works for me because, honestly, we’re all in this together.
✈️ Mazatlan Travel & Culture
I love Mazatlan, and I’ve written a guidebook about it—Mazatlan Travel Guide: Your Go Made Easy! I’m your guy if you want to know where to go, what to eat, and how to soak up the culture without all the tourist traps. Travelling there isn’t just about the sights; it’s about making memories and connecting with the local culture. Suppose you are interested in heading to Mazatlan. In that case, it’s an excellent guide, and you can check it out on Amazon.
🔍SEO, Affiliate Marketing & Blogging
I didn’t stop learning when I retired. In fact, I embraced SEO, affiliate marketing, and blogging with open arms. When I recommend products, I do so honestly. I want people to feel like they’re getting advice from a trusted friend, not a pushy salesman. I value integrity and share only what I genuinely believe in.
🚐 RV Adventures
My RV is my freedom wagon. Natalie, Gracie (our dog), and I hit the road to explore new places. There’s nothing quite like RV travel—the open road, the sense of freedom, and the ability to stop wherever we want. I share my RVing tips for folks looking to explore Canada and beyond.
🐾 Pets and Animal Companions
Speaking of Gracie, pets are a big part of our lives. I can’t imagine travelling without her—she’s my loyal co-pilot. If you’re into travelling with pets, I’m here to share how we make it work. Keeping our furry friends happy is the name of the game from day to day, as well as travelling.
💡Practical Advice & Tips
What makes me different from a thousand other bloggers? I keep it real and practical. I provide honest product comparisons focusing on pros and cons without hype. If a product doesn’t cut it, I’ll tell you why. If it’s fantastic, you’ll know that too. No one has time to waste—so I get straight to the point.
🏞️ Family and Lifestyle
Family means everything to me. Natalie and I, along with our adult kids and grandkids, make memories whenever possible. Whether camping together or having a good laugh over a campfire, these moments are gold. My blog reflects the importance of family time and how to make the most of it.
⚙️ Manufacturing Industry Insights
I spent three decades in manufacturing. That experience taught me a lot about making things, efficiency, and hard work. I use that knowledge even today when writing, working on projects, or helping others understand how to bring ideas to life.
