Sitting in my first ever office job at 21 years old, I knew I couldn't do that for the rest of my life. But what could I do? Well, I wasn't too sure, so in order to find out, I left my home country of Canada at 23 years old to explore the unknown. I moved to China, and after falling in love with China and living there for four years, I knew it was my time to move on.

I spent time finding and following my passions, which lead me to creating a digital marketing business, implementing dynamic marketing and strategies for clients around the globe.

But of course, I had to follow my other passion as well... my love of travel and helping others create a life they are obsessed with (what I like to call lifestyle design). Now, I create content on social, my podcast, and blog, helping others who feel in the same situation I did years back... knowing there is so much more to life, but unsure how to find it.

Come along for the ride, grab a drink, and let's discover together.
