  • The Worst Part of Being an Expat

    Posted on September 8, 2017January 24, 2018

    Today, is an ‘expat day.’ I’m feeling a little emotional and I wasn’t really expecting to. One of my friends who I’ve worked with for the past two years, and who went through all the sponsorship visa stress with me, had her last day at work. She’s heading back to the land of Hobbits in […]

    I’m always so curious as to whether the average non-Brit knows there’s so much more to the UK than just London and Edinburgh. I can say honestly that before moving to London 3 years ago, my mind never even thought to wander much farther than that (I also thought that England, Scotland, Wales would all […]

  • 3 year Londonversary!

    Posted on August 28, 2017January 24, 2018
    London

    Today, marks three years in London and this crazy full-on, diverse, drink loving country. It’s my Londonversary, and also the longest I’ve spent in one place since 2009, so I figured, ‘hey, let’s launch that blog you keep thinking about.’ But first, let me tell you the story of how I got here – because […]

  • The Titanic, Belfast & The Halifax Diaries

    Posted on November 14, 2016January 24, 2018

    Original story posted on Travel Maritimes, November 2016.  Once described by Lonely Planet as one of the ‘four B’s’ (Beirut, Bagdad and Bosnia), Belfast has a complicated past (and present) fuelled by a century of religious feuds of Catholic vs Protestants. I ventured there to explore Titanic Belfast, recently announced as Europe’s Leading Visitor Attraction […]

  • Hiking the white cliffs of Seven Sisters

    Posted on August 23, 2016July 3, 2018

    A while ago, I saw on a friends’ Facebook incredibly beautiful pictures of white cliffs, cascading off into the ocean (think: Cliffs of Moher, but chalky) and no, they weren’t the white cliffs of Dover. It was the Seven Sisters Country Park in East Sussex, England, about a 2-hour train ride from London Victoria. Taking […]

    London Red Phone Booth

    London, you can be a cold, grey bitch sometimes but damn, I am so in love with you it hurts. Before moving to your crowded streets almost two years ago, I had never set foot in the United Kingdom; to be honest, I didn’t even know Scotland wasn’t it’s own country. My ideas of London […]

  • UK work visa: a how-to for Canadians

    Youth Mobility Visa - A How to for Canadians

    Sometimes life doesn’t go according to plan. I was working at a job that didn’t turn out how it was advertised, and I wasn’t enjoying it. Looking back, the silver lining was that it forced me to do something I’ve been wanting and putting off doing for a very long time; travel and work abroad. So, […]
