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

The Lost Art of Reading a Book

December 5, 2018June 23, 202014 Comments

Back when I started this blog eight years ago I used to be an avid reader; once completing a goal of 24 books in one year. I miss the days when technology was a luxury and not a constant distraction. Yes, reading articles online can still expand your mind and vocabulary, but we are faced … Continue reading The Lost Art of Reading a Book

Things I Wont (and Will) Miss About London

June 30, 2018June 24, 202043 Comments

Living in London was always a pipe dream of mine. How would I ever land a sponsorship in the city, especially right after university? It was on my solo backpacking trip in 2016 that I was informed about the Working Holiday Visa, where Canadians under 30-something can simply apply and pay to live/work in the … Continue reading Things I Wont (and Will) Miss About London

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

2017 Resolutions & Looking Back on 2016

January 9, 2017June 25, 202024 Comments

2016 has surprised me, as I never imagined it could top 2015. This has been a year of adventure, growth, and turning lifelong dreams into a reality. Of course, 2016 has been a shitty year globally, but who says I can't focus on the positive? Now I know 2017 might not be as life changing … Continue reading 2017 Resolutions & Looking Back on 2016

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
