“I was 22 and working at a job that really wasn’t going anywhere. All my friends were settling down and figuring out what they want to do, career wise and family wise. Nothing seemed to fit, so I decided that I was going to travel. I just bought a backpack and went to Australia for three months, which subsequently led me to Japan where I taught English for a year and a half. It was a worldly experience, but the things I did where I travelled, learned about another culture, and lived in another culture made me realize how much I missed Montreal and how much I wanted to come back and how important family is. It took me that distance to realize how fortunate I was to come back home.”
