For all of those who find it difficult to comprehend how I travel on a student budget: Though I may not have come from a line of rich fellas, and though my separated family didn’t make it easy to raise 3 kids… there is always something called hard work and...

It’s Graduation Time Back in Canada
Back in the Motherland It has been 5 weeks since I returned home from Germany visiting Paul but time has flew by faster than I ever imagined. A part of me is thankful for that because the time I waited for Paul and Till (another fella I met in South Africa) felt like...
4 Countries in 1 Week: Welcome to Europe
Well I am sitting in the airport in Belgium blogging my latest and last blog from Europe. It was a short but sweet adventure. I have eaten too much cheese, too much chocolate and faaaar too much bread. Food is so much better in Europe. Amsterdam ...was quite like I...
Scheisse! I’m in Freiburg, Germany
I have arrived in Germany to visit my boyfriend Paul for a couple of weeks. Though I have never had any ambitions to visit Germany in my travels, I am pleasantly surprised with what Germany has to offer. It might be what I had learned in school, or the fact that no...
What it’s Like Coming Home After Travelling
It’s funny, when you miss home and want to go back you forget to remember all the reasons why you left in the first place. When I thought of coming home all I pictured was cuddling in my duvet and pillow filled slice of heaven, playing with my pup, watching Sunday...
The Full Experience: Full Moon Party
In order to celebrate our final weeks in Thailand the girls and I headed South to Koh Phagnan for the Full Moon Party! A full neon outfit for ten bucks, a 26 of Hong Thong booze for seven bucks and several jars of body paint later… we were ready for what everyone had...
The Song Kran Experience in Thailand
With 12 days until our departure back to Canada, I figured a blog post was in call. Wrapping up has been more exciting than stressful but I also haven’t had a huge amount of time to spend on extracurricular interests like Tumblr. The three girls I spent the semester...
A Guide to Trekking in the Indonesian Rainforest
Somehow Kirsty and I decided to pack a trip to Indonesia into a 5 day weekend. We flew into Medan, Indonesia… We booked a hotel for the first night and decided to see where our plans would take us for the next 5 days! The beginning of the adventure was rather rough,...
The 2004 Tsunami Becomes More of a Reality
I guess when world tragic events occur somewhere on the other side of the world, I tend to sit there and feel sorry for all the people affected while I carry on with my daily life - not doing a single thing to help. I’m not sure if I felt that my condolences were...
Welcome to the Kingdom of Cambodia
I know it’s tough to fathom ‘how I can possibly be taking another break away from my holidays already’. Let me tell you, terms abroad are not just a walk in the park… it is more of a distraction trying to focus on school with the beach a 15 minute walk away, countries...
How to Take A Vacation Away From Vacation in Thailand
Reading week? What reading week? I’m in Thailand. It might be a pretty sweet deal to spend 4 months of my last semester in University studying in Thailand, but the benefits of being an Ontario student offer reading week, family day, long weekends… etc. So, instead… I...
Living and Travelling in Thailand for 4 Months
With 9 hours of class per week… it’s not difficult to plan mini vacations everywhere across Thailand and Asia. It’s hard to keep reminding myself “Jenna, you’re still in school,” when it feels like a long backpacking adventure. I wouldn’t really call it ‘vacation’...
