I’ve done two Canadian working holidays and lived in Vancouver for over two years. While living in Canada, I was fortunate to visit several Canadian cities.

Here are all the reasons why you should take a working holiday and move abroad at least once in your lifetime.

Looking at the map below, I’m still in awe of the massive circle I did across Canada and the ..read more

Discover all the funny and life-changing things that happened when I became (another) Aussie expat in Canada (twice).

Quite a few followers commented that they’d love to read more about life as an expat.
