It’s not often in life that we have the luxury and the privilege to be free. Free of societal expectations, commitments, and timelines. Two years ago, I completed my Masters Degree and took a job abroad in Japan so that I could experience living without these very things. Since then, I’ve lived an anchorless life of teaching, travelling, cultural exchange, animal fostering, volunteering, and adventuring, and I couldn’t be happier. 

Now, after returning to life in Canada mid-pandemic, life has done a complete 180. The pandemic has shifted my reality and my priorities. Financial independence, reconnecting with family and friends at home, and making advances in my career are now at the top of the list. I haven’t given up on the adventures though. In fact, I can’t wait to build my photography skills and portfolio, even without the travel. Same mindset, different adventure.
