Quebec 2017 !
Recently (April actually), I went on a trip to Quebec (Ottawa and Montreal) with my school! And realising how much I love to watch travel vlogs, I decided to make one so I could share my trip with you guys! There isn’t any speaking in this because I hate hearing my recorded voice, so this…
My Road Trip Playlist
My playlist is very varying I must say, so hopefully theres something on there that everyone can if not indulge but partially tolerate. I hope there’s something new for you to try on here, or you can recognize a few of these songs. I have linked my Spotify road playlist, so give it a…
A sense of Home
Home, something some of us identify as a house, an apartment, somewhere we live; for some of us its two eyes and a heart beat, and for me, its UBC. As strange as it sounds, its my home. It was the first place I lived in Canada, and I just fell in love with the…
Top 9 Places to see in Vancouver
Now although I would recommend seeking out every corner of Vancouver, I do not think it will be possible in just one or two road trips. I still haven’t done it and I lived there for a year. So out of my list, though it was painstakingly awful for me to just pick 9, these…

What I Learned From a Week in Toronto
Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to go to Toronto to compete in the Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly (SOMA)! I was among 20 excited students on our Model UN team who departed for Toronto on Tuesday morning and tiredly returned to Calgary on Saturday evening. I wasn’t expecting to learn much from…
Sichuan Cuisine
I recently flew over to my hometown of EmeiShan in China over Spring break. With the little time I had over spring break ,yet the never ending grub, I began eating the night of my arrival in Chengdu. Emeishan is located in the heart of the Sichuan province wildly known for its spicy and numbing flavours…
Cool Cats
