Hi there! My name is Mary and I'm a student in Ottawa, Ontario. I love travelling and think the best way to experience a new place is by getting to know locals and making new friends! I'm interested in politics, environmental issues, and love to learn new languages. Currently I speak English and Spanish, but I'm practicing my French and hoping to learn Arabic eventually.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
