Bonus videos!

Hey everyone! I hope that you all have been enjoying your summers so far and that you have settled back into normal every day life... I don't know about everyone else, but it still feels like I'm going to be going back to Quebec really soon, or as if I haven't left yet. This summer passed by so quickly and I am so grateful for all the people I got to spend it with as well as thankful for all the wonderful...

Train Videos!

Here are two "vlogs" that I had made on the train... I would have made more but unfortunately I ran out of battery :( This is en route, somewhere in the middle of Ontario with special guest star Patrick Benoit... And this is a recap of our last full day on the train during our little "party"... by the way, we really did have a Pitch Perfect-esque sing off that lasted a half hour. I wish...

Departures.

Le Dernier Journee

Je suis tres triste, parce que demain, je pars pour Vancouver. I am sad because I am leaving Quebec, my home away from home for the past six weeks. I miss home just as much as I want to stay here, so inside of me all day was a gigantic tug of war between the two places. It was a bunch of lasts of sorts...

Dance the Night Away!

It is with mixed emotions that I write these last few posts while actually in Quebec - part of me really wants to stay longer, get to know all the people that I spent the summer with a lot better, take more pictures, do more activities... but I also know that all good things must come to an end, and...

St. Joseph's Oratory

How's everyone's weekend going so far? For me, my weekend ends tonight but not without an amazing and serene trip to a very holy place in Montreal! Our first stop was a lunch stop at this cute diner called Paulo and Suzanne's. Simon introduced this place to me as "a place with real poutine"... and...

La Ronde!

Saturday was a long, 12+ hour day BUT amazing and super fun, even for someone like me who isn't a big fan of huge rollercoasters! As part of the Six Flags franchise, La Ronde definitely did not disappoint. We got to see groups from all over the country and met many new people as well as met up...
