Get to know me!

Your go-to girl for all things adventure. Seriously, say adventure and I’m there! Or food – I will always be there for the food!

Food has always been my passion. In fact, my undergraduate degree is a Honours Specialization in Nutrition and Dietetics.
This is Nova. She is the love of my life. Nova joins me on almost all of my adventures.
Solo travel is one of my favourite ways to explore. It opens you up to meeting new people and making lifelong friends.
I am extremely passionate about sustainability. My goal is to live as low waste as possible.
Winter is my favourite season. Very Canadian of me, I know!
I love backcountry adventures, particularly backcountry canoe trips.
