About Me

For 5 years I have wanted to come and live in Canada - and I finally did it!

I moved to Vancouver from New Zealand last December and intend to stay here at least a year so that I can really get to know the people, the place and the customs.

Relocating is definitely an experience everyone should try at least once. I have done a lot of travelling, but packing up your life with the intention to start afresh in an entirely different country is a whole different kettle of fish...
