CURRENT MISSION

Between degrees and letting the world kick me in the face for a while

ABOUT ME

25 year old female, born and raised in the GTA and currently calling Korea my home sweet home. Slowly but surely saving money for my Masters, which I'll use to save and then eventually take over the world. Alternate plans include starting an organic farm, building an Earthship, joining an intentional community, being a hermit, and spending one month in every country in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

We're here to live - If what you're doing now isn't working towards your dream, feel free to try something new. No one ever regrets raising the bar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At 6am in Esteli, Nicaragua, I played soccer with children I barely knew. I couldn't speak Spanish, they couldn't speak English, but we both learned so much about each other.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learned this last week, let me pass it on.
White vinegar in a spray bottle is your best friend if you live in the North. Pour or spray some right onto your windshield and it'll significantly reduce the frost buildup!
