ABOUT ME
I'm an open-minded body who doesn't limit myself on specific ideas. I enjoy listening to other people's life stories and adventures, culture, and philosophy to broaden my horizons. The more I learn from others and myself makes it that much easier to accomplish my goals and dreams. Taking risks and doing new things are what life is about! What's important in my life? Friends, family, my cat, school, media, animation, figure skating, The Bachelor franchise, and most importantly, TRAVELLING. If I couldn't escape normal life, I'd be insane. What makes me crazy? People who think they know everything about the world via the web, yet, they haven't stepped out of their comfort zone to experience it truly.

PHILOSOPHY
Take risks and do new things to really experience life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There are many things i've done or seen which have affected my life in some way. One of the more significant things is my travel experience. Whether on a cruise in the Caribbean or sightseeing in Europe (twice), it's always an eye opening adventure. My favourite city in Europe is Rome!But this summer, I'm living in SIcily as an au pair for a family and this is probably one of my most beautiful travelling sagas ever! Living with a local family makes me a local as well, so I learn new things about the culture from a very different aspect, rather than a tourist. And the island itself is breathtakingly beautiful no matter where I venture to with the family. Beautiful beaches, gorgeous architecture, a rich history, and the volcano, Mt. Etna. It's a small location, yet, it has so many wonderful things to see!
Teach, Learn, Share
We don't live in Igloos in Canada and it doesn't snow all year. In fact, part of Canada is below some of the United States border. And don't forget Alaska (USA)! It's on top of Canada!
Do things you want to accomplish in your life, and don't let others get in the way.
