I'm originally from Toronto, but I spent my childhood as a bit of a vagabond so I've lived and visited many other places. Those who know me describe me as a happy and loving friend of many who takes her amazing dog with her everywhere. When I am not out traveling or living abroad I am very much a homebody---a social homebody. I'm a big fan of staying local and keeping things casual between friends. I'm a mermaid in the summer and a snow bunny in the winter, always outside! I think my next big move will be back to the mountains, but I'm not sure if that will be in Western Canada or the French Alpes :o)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rescued my dog while I was living in Belgium. He has come a very long way (figuratively and literally). I have about 10 friends that borrow him on a regular basis to get their doggy love fill because he is the most adorable, playful, happy, sweet, and cuddly thing in the world.
