ABOUT ME
I'm living in Vancouver now and going to school for aromatherapy.

I am from Vancouver Canada. I have lived in Montreal, then left for Cuba, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia , Peru and Bolivia in 2009! I lived in Colombia(teaching English in Bogota) for 1.5 years because I loved it so much, the people the weather, the beautiful beaches, jungle, forest, rivers, and culture. It was the best experience ever and wouldn't trade it for anything! Then I went to South America again..first arrived in Colombia in Aug.2012, spent almost 6 months there, then Ecuador, Peru, Chile. Last year I Just spent some time in Jamaica and Cuba.
Basically I love traveling, to learn about new cultures, new people, food, music, art, nature!
