I'm a 23 year old Canadian backpacker with a degree in English literature and great books, taking the next few months to explore Europe before I start my Masters in September!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I backpacked through Nicaragua and went volcano boarding in Leon, which involved carrying a wooden sled up a volcano and then sliding down it at high speed (or in my case not so high speed). I went a second time to try to improve my time, but somehow managed to halve it instead.
