Alright, Welcome everyone, I'm sure many of you have seen this site before from my sisters travels, but if you haven’t, its simply a place where I can update people on my travels and post a few pictures. If you are reading this, it means I have added you to a mailing list that will receive an email every time I update this site. If you don’t want to receive these updates, you can take yourself off the mailing list on the travelblog website. If you know anyone else that wants to receive these updates then you can also add them on the same website. Where am I now? Well I'm still in Canada...last day of work here at NCR in Waterloo...and as you can tell I'm quite busy. But in 7 days myself, Audrey and ... read more

Now my test results are fine. An hour ago I was stressed that they wouldn't be. Now they're okay and I'm worried that they'll need more or they won't need anything and now I'm leaving the country in 10 days. I don't know. Am I? Maybe. Maybe not. Zack (my boss at Carnival) will be calling me tomorrow. I'm overtired from working on the Wax Wing show and doing time in the Keating office. I'm excessively emotional. Everything to do with going away right now feels extremely overwhelming.... read more

For years I have wanted to work on a cruise ship. Five weeks ago, I was offered a job with Carnival Cruise Lines to be their newest "Club o2" Director (supervisor of entertainment for 15-17 year olds). When hired it seemed so exciting and soon, but then this wait game began. Waiting for medical approval. Two days ago, I got all of my medical reports sent off. I got my tentative ship, home port and travel assignment. Extreme nerves set in, but under all that began anticipation and excitement.

TORONTO - PART 1! Sorry for the prolonged update. Is gonna be quite a big post, will try to update more often! I will put up some pics too, shortly... Well I can honestly say I am having a fantastic time in Toronto! Its a wonderful city and I settled to it very quickly. I am staying in a hostel called Canadiana Backpackers, which is very nice and great fun. They serve pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast every morning, which was good at first but the novelty wore off quickly...my plan is to fly to Quebec on December 9th, then head to Montreal before Ottawa for Christmas. If the next 9 ½ months pf my trip is as amazing as the first it is going to be out of this world! I had a quiet ... read more

Well it's that time again, time to head out on another international adventure. This time it's going to be Brazil, Rio de Janeiro to be more precise and I'll be accompanied by my friend/roommate Kris and our other buddy Mladen a.k.a Marco who we met in Cuba last year. I'm going to try and keep this little travel blog up-to-date and post as many pics as possible before my digital camera gets stolen, which is inevitable from what I hear, but at least that will give me an excuse to buy a new one :) I'm expecting this to be much different from my Japan excursion. In Japan, the crime was non-existant, everything was big, clean, new, futuristic, the people were plentiful and I stuck out like a sore thumb. This time around, I may be ... read more
