I am Canadian Expat in San Francisco (more About Me) and a published photographer and content creator.
I enjoy travel when I can, and sharing my journey, (such as tips on getting upgrades and great photography spots!), through this blog. Many of my Bucket List items involve travel which you can read about here.
My next set of adventures will definitely relate to entrepreneurship and building community! When I am able to combine my passions and skills, with travel and adventure (like my trip to Tel Aviv) it is the ultimate win-win for me!
One my top travel highlights in recent years was joining Competitours – an Amazing Race-style Adventure Tour – and creating a highlight video!
