About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living on a permanent vacation. 3 weeks work, one week vacation a month!

ABOUT ME

I love travel, good food, social media & afternoon tea. I love to travel and experience authentic experiences with locals. I was born in Toronto, Canada. My Mom was born in Australia,with her parents from Greece and my Dad was born in Greece. Being brought up like this from little I was travelling, and perhaps destined to travel. I lived in Australia until I was 9 years old, which is when we returned back to Canada. When I 16 I did an exchange program to Monterrey, Mexico for 3 months to learn Spanish. After high school I went to Greece to study hotel management for 3 years, and worked on the island of Rhodes and in the north in Halkidiki. I have also spent a year working in the Canadian Rockies in Lake Louise, as well as the Cayman Islands. I was an au-pair in Spain one summer! As you can see, I have a travelling spirit. I am currently in Toronto. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life YOUR life YOUR way and not how society thinks it's best for you.

Everyone has their own definition of what living their fabulous lives means to them which is 100% valid as long as it is aligned according to their wants, standards, passions, and integrity. Throughout my life, I have heard people express their opinions on how I should live my life which has never really fitted into my definition of what living my fabulous life meant to me. There is nothing wrong with that as it is my fabulous life. Respectfully, you can create your fabulous life the way you choose.

Living on a permanent vacation! :P
