A Gift to Myself

oh hey blog, I feel like we've become strangers lately. I've been cheating on you with my work blog (and I'm not really sorry). I've been blogging and pumping out content more now than ever, but it's just not happening here...

Elect THIS!

Mike is an awesome dude that I worked with at MTV who recently went back to school to study Law. He's also the Political Correspondent for MTV News and recently hosted a special called 'Elect This' which airs TONIGHT on MTV Canada at 9pm.


We be live tweeting #MTVElect



Here is a sneak preview of tonight's episode:

Lest we Forget the Daisies

With all the tweets about Easter and chocolate goodies, it's sometimes easy to forget what this holiday is all about. Religious or not, it's a good time to connect with family and friends even if for a night of drinks (or tea). It's nice to kick back and reminisce on your youth (and have those people in your life remind you of the times you may have forgotten about) both good and bad.

Today is also Anzac Day in Australia/New Zealand and I had the honour of experiencing this first hand last year when I was in Melbourne. I remember waking up at 4am to head to the dawn service where hundreds of Aussies gathered around a monument for the ceremony and two minutes of silence.
I have never felt so solemn as I did that morning watching the sunrise...

Facetime in Van


This past week I had a chance to hang out in Vancouver for work and ended up getting so inspired by the people I met, and capturing what this city had to offer from behind the lens.

I had a lot of meetings, ate a lot of awesome sushi, and drank some excellent seasonal brews.

Making Tracks

Came across this video series and completely fell in love with the concept:



I've been fortunate enough to spend time in these two places in Australia. By the time I left Tasmania, I felt exactly how Jasmine did. There is something about this country that brings a warm smile to my face.

Scoring the Best Travel Job Ever

As I sit here writing a blog post for Flight Centre about my love affair with Couran Cove in Australia, I have to stop myself for a second to take it all in. I'm sitting here getting paid to write a blog about my travels and then share it with the world.





















To say I scored a sweet gig would be an understatement. I'm on cloud nine and I'm thrilled where life has taken me. I never imagined myself here two years ago when I decided to quit my job at MTV and travel down under. Since then, I have met so many amazing people and truly 'found myself' if you will. It's true what they say about Australia, 'sometimes in order to find yourself you need to walkabout'

Love at First Flight



As Social Media Week comes to an end here in Toronto, things are just getting ramped up again. Tomorrow I'm super excited to be starting my new gig at Flight Centre.

The Social Kickoff

Yesterday was the official kick-off to social media week here in Toronto and it was one hell of a great start!

Love at First Byte




















As I sit here on a Friday night with a whiteboard list of videos to be edited, my eyes light up in a total nerdgasm.

An Evening with Journeywoman

There are some people in life that inspire you. The ones that have so much wisdom and kindness to offer that reminds you how great life really is.



For me, that person is Evelyn Hannon also known as @Journeywoman on Twitter.

Happy Australia Day!

It's Jan 26th down under which means one thing... it's Australia Day!

Big love goes out to all my Aussies down under (and those currently travelling the world).

At this time last year I was enjoying a picnic with some mates, and drinking the day away on a rooftop patio as we listened to the Triple J Top 100 countdown.

I've Got Something to Tell You...


SO. This time last year I was dancing my face off at Big Day Out completely enjoying my life down under. One year later I am dancing my face off here in Canada with the best news ever :)

African Lion Safaaaari














Ever wanted to go somewhere exotic? I don't know about you, but I've been dreaming about taking an African Safari ever since I was a little girl.

the.update.


Well it's the beginning of a new year and that means three things for me:

1) crowded gyms
2) time to rearrange my apt
3) create my 'Wish List' of places to travel this year!
