My London Dating App Experience: Tinder & Bumble

May 28, 2020June 18, 202014 Comments

Three years later, I am finally publishing this, while slightly cringing. Looking back I was incredibly boy crazy and made a few unwise decisions. I enjoyed my dating escapades in London and it provided invaluable lessons to get me where I am today, but I am glad to have matured since then. The first night … Continue reading My London Dating App Experience: Tinder & Bumble

Dear Bridget Jones: Travel Meet-Cutes

October 17, 2017June 23, 202015 Comments

Dear Bridget Jones, I write to you again, as my London/Dating Diary continues, but this entry isn't about London at all. Rather it's about by *romantic* adventures abroad – my meet-cute experiences. Though you didn't meet Daniel, Mark, or Jack abroad, I figured you could appreciate the stories that give nod to the staple of … Continue reading Dear Bridget Jones: Travel Meet-Cutes

A Long Weekend in Copenhagen

November 29, 2016June 24, 202035 Comments

After being in London for nearly three months, I took my first mini-break from the city. I wish I knew who said it and how they said it, but basically "Copenhagen feels like the perfect way to spend a Sunday". Three days was the perfect amount of time to explore. We got to see all … Continue reading A Long Weekend in Copenhagen

Things I’ve Learned About London (So Far)

September 28, 2016June 25, 202035 Comments

I've officially been here a month, and there is still so much to learn as an expat in London. So as I discover more lessons, I will add them to the list. You may notice that there are a lot of lessons on budgeting – at the ripe age of 22 I am finally experiencing … Continue reading Things I’ve Learned About London (So Far)

Dear Bridget Jones: My First Two Weeks in London

September 12, 2016June 23, 202034 Comments

Dear Bridget Jones, Though this is extremely different from my other travel blog posts, I found it fitting that as I stumble through my life in London, I write to you. Your crazy scenarios were oh so enjoyable and painstakingly relatable, especially now. This could be an ode to your new chapter of having a … Continue reading Dear Bridget Jones: My First Two Weeks in London

Tomorrow is the day! The BIG MOVE. I still can't believe that one of my biggest dreams is coming true. This post is part of the Moving to London series.

How I Got My UK Tier 5 Working Holiday Visa

August 18, 2016June 18, 202023 Comments

I've decided to create a mini Moving to London Series for those of you who want to move to the UK and for those of you who are just interested in my experience. This post is about the Tier 5 Visa application process. It won't be super technical, as I am no expert, but it'll give you a … Continue reading How I Got My UK Tier 5 Working Holiday Visa

With recent world events, namely Brexit, many people have been asking me Why London? Keep reading to find out. Why I'm Moving to … Continue reading Why I Chose to Move to London

My Month of Solo Travel in Review

July 26, 2016October 18, 201764 Comments

Before I left, a few people asked me, "What do you hope to gain from this trip?". Honestly, just completing this trip seemed like a big accomplishment (I would have never imagined doing something like this a few years back). I didn't expect some Eat Pray Love sort of self discovery ... but of course I'd take … Continue reading My Month of Solo Travel in Review

When You Don’t Live in One Place for Long

July 18, 2016June 24, 202040 Comments

My life has been all over the place these past few years; since I moved to Halifax from Ottawa for university. Once I was there, my program had me moving around every four months to complete internships (a great program btw). Now top that off with an exchange to France and a month long backpacking … Continue reading When You Don’t Live in One Place for Long
