2 Months of Canadiana Living
To be truthful it’s been very hard to put into words the transition of Europe to North America, so apologies for the delay, and enjoy this rambling read… As a Brit moving to Canada didn’t seem that much of a move from the U.K. Oh how I was proven wrong.

Something that is really prominent about my childhood memories are the holidays to France.

Travel Bug #1: Toronto
This post is a throwback to my time in toronto written in 2015… enjoy! “Urban sprawl” is a predictable description for the bulk of major cities whether you go around the globe.

Weight off my Chest
Not going to lie, I do like to write a strongly worded letter and email every so often.
