Just spent the day with my bestie. I’ve missed her. We haven’t lived in the same town for over a year now and our travels never seem to be together but we still manage to find each other somewhere along the way. She is actually on her way over with some vino. I miss these times we have together. We used to be joined by the hip and now our lives are so different but we always are able...
Chapter One
A new city, a new novel. Moving is a scary yet beautiful thing. You feel so many emotions. When I first pulled away from my driveway I felt afraid and thought to myself “please let me go back.”
Next chapter, I pulled up to my beautiful new apartment just off of Burrard street in Kitsalano, Vancouver and I was instantly in love. I quickly unpacked and placed things where I wanted. It...

Office Space
Looking for a job? Yep! Frik I’m having a heck of a time finding a job. No one wants to hire you when you’re gone for New Years and the Olympics! I’m loving Van but I’m slightly stressed over the job situation. Resume after resume…. fail, fail, fail.If I don’t give up on looking I can’t really fail right? Everything seemed to fall very nicely into place...

The other day I learned that if you say ‘beer can’ with an English accent, you’re saying ‘bacon’ with a Jamaican accent. Weird!

Passion Pit
Looking back I have had many hobbies, many interests. I’ve done everything from playing hockey to dancing. But out of everything I have done the one thing I will never give up is traveling. I started traveling at the age of 10 with my family. Since then we have been to many places but I became most passionate about traveling when I went off on my own. The idea of having your whole life on...

Never Stop Growing
It’s weird to look back three years ago and think what my life was like then. It was so different. I had not been to Thailand yet. I had been in a long term relationship with someone who I thought I might spend the rest of my life with. It didn’t work out that way and I’m glad it didn’t. It was a hard transition. I was left broken hearted and lost. How do you go from...

One week till the big move! I can’t believe it! Alot of changes have happened in the last few months, good changes. Everything always happens for a reason and things could always be worse. I also believe timing is everything and sometimes you just need to walk away from certain situations and get on with your life. And as for right now its my time to grow up and not be afraid for once. I...

Snowflakes
This is by my friend Mariah, she wrote it years ago and I’ve always loved it!
Snow flakes, the intricate detail of which they are made. Every single one is a design of it’s own , no two are alike. It makes me aware of how truley unique every human being is. It’s hard to feel unique in a world full of 8 billion people. Sometimes, it is very easy to feel like an insignificant ant...
Baby It's Cold Outside
I should be sleeping but instead I’m wide awake sipping on a glass of vino. The thing about this time of year is that we become close to our loved one. Its freezing outside so we stay indoors playing silly board games, enjoying each others company. One thing I have discovered from travelling is it doesn’t matter where you are, or how beautiful it is, it matters who is in your company. I could be...

Cold Feet
I think too much. In approximetly one month I will be boarding a plane to Vancouver for two years. I’m nervous. I don’t want to leave my friends and family behind. I like my life right now, but if I don’t go I will never know. I will always be left wondering and I know this is something I must do. Home will always be there waiting for me and I can always come back. But I still...

They say those who don’t travel only read one page and I truly believe that. Three years ago I signed up for a trip to Thailand. I had no idea what to expect. I was nervous leaving my comfort zone, my friends, my family, everything I had ever known. Once I landed in Bangkok I knew there was no turning back and this experience would forever be mine and that it would alter my perspective about...
