CURRENT MISSION

See the world!

ABOUT ME

First off, there's two of us. We're a package & heading to Western Europe for May & June. We've known each other since we were 15 & have traveled lots together.
Marianna: I'm planning on moving to Victoria, on Vancouver Island, for school in August. I'll be stuck there for 12 months...hopefully I'll have a couch, if I'm not maybe a cardboard box ;)

Laura: I've been working as a registered nurse in acute medicine since I graduated University of British Columbia last year. I love to travel, meet new people & go out! I live in kitsilano a block above kits beach (the miami beach of vancouver) which is also where I work in the summer as a lifeguard. I'm also a retired synchronized swimmer. I have a nice couch with an amazing view of english bay.

PHILOSOPHY

Live each day to the fullest. You never know what happens tomorrow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

View from Laura's apartment... amazing.

I saw a video on YouTube showing a baby buffalo that got attacked by a pack of lions, then got chomped on by alligators, and still got up and ran away. Thus proving the quote, "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."
