Expat Files
Somewhere Between Raising Hell….and Amazing Grace
A little over two years ago, I moved to Canada in search of an adventure. Sometimes I have to pinch myself just to make sure that I didn’t dream it; to make sure that I am really here. It has been phenomenal, incredible, amazing, challenging, invigorating, terrifying, frustrating, emotional, exhausting and everything in between.

The Heat Of The Summer Sunshine…I Miss You. Like Nobody Else
After a pretty gentle introduction to Toronto (weather-wise at least), it seems that Canada has a bit of a surprise in store for me. Winter is on the way and it’s forecast to be a tough one.

I never really understood what they meant, until now….

Moving is a big step and with it comes a mixed bag of emotions. This is a post about the excitement as my departure date nears balanced with the sadness that comes with having to say goodbye (for now) to everyone and everything I’ve ever known.
