Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, I can't remember when my passion for travel really began. I've always been curious about the world and it's many different cultures and so a few years back I began to travel as much as I could. I can say I've seen a lot of Europe but no matter how many times you go and how many cities you visit it is never enough.

I have gotten used to traveling on my own and almost prefer the freedom of doing things on my own time and going anywhere I want without compromise. People often ask whether I get lonely or bored taking off by myself but I think you can learn so much about yourself when you really throw yourself out there and try something new. Either way I have met so many people and so many characters in my travels I can't remember ever feeling homesick. Life is about challenges and to truly live we have to challenge ourselves.

Having travelled around Spain a lot more now, I can say that ... read more

Florence Italy is one of my favorite places I've been up to date. The first time I visited the city was actually my first time visiting Europe. I was 19 years old, and signed up for Italian courses at the Instituto Michaelangelo. The program was 4 weeks and I rented a studio apartment right off Via Ghibelina by myself. I arrived at the airport and was received by the program coordinator who handed me my apartment keys and set me off in a taxi. I had barely been there a few minutes but as I looked out my window at the European streets as we drove past the Duomo I knew I was already in love with the city. I didn't want to waste a minute and I couldn't wait for my morning class to meet ... read more
