I was born in Burlington, Ontario and lived there for most of my childhood. At 9 years old, my family and I moved to Oshawa, Ontario where I currently am still living in. My parents, as well as their parents, were born Newfoundland, Canada.

One reason I love travelling so much is you get to see other people’s way of life, even if it is a province or a country away many cultural or societal differences may
