I'm Jess :) I'm a 24 year old Canadian who has just spent some time working in Italy before taking time off to travel for the past 8 months. I love cooking and eating vegan food. I am passionate about human rights, mainly focusing on refugee and migrant rights. I like exploring new and unknown places to me and diving into unfamiliar cultures. I love spending time outdoors hiking/biking/swimming/wandering around town or also sitting in a cute cafe reading a book. I like to stay open-minded and curious about all things in life. I am eager to get to know some new people and exchange ideas and viewpoints with them :)
