Three weeks ago I was approached to be a guest on a podcast series launching this summer. Naturally I screamed yes before actually thinking it through (and yes I am well aware that saying yes on impulse may one day be my downfall); but I was excited about the project and downright stoked to be…

SclScn 2.0
If you follow me on Instagram, then you likely already know that I have decided to re-launch SclScn. When I initially created this site, I was just starting to figure out who I was and what would fulfill me as I navigate my way through life. This blog has been a platform for every emotion…
The art of gratitude
I’m a big fan of birthday’s… in fact, they’ve always been my favourite thing to celebrate. Birthday’s represent significant beginnings (from the moment you take your very first breath and every milestone and achievement you experience thereafter). As such, I’ve always used my birthday as a time to reflect on the past, reassess my priorities…
Feelin’ kinda fly…
Two months ago, I willingly jumped out of plane for the first time and it was the most incredible thing I’ve ever done. Huge shoutout to my amazing instructor, Carlos, and videographer, Alex, for making my first skydiving experience so spectacular! Full video:
48 hours in Bangladesh
The last few months of my life have been a blur. A good blur. A great blur in fact. When you’re too busy living to blog regularly, what else could it be but great?

Be wild and Rome
Any resident of Canada will tell you that travelling is a hassle. It’s far! Really far! Hop on a plane for 5 hours and guess what – chances are, you’ll still be in Canada! With that being said, one of the most convenient things about being based in Dubai is its proximity to so many places (most…
Oh-my, Oman!
I know I keep promising to write more, text more, call more, FaceTime more, etc, etc, etc. From the bottom of my heart I apologize to those of you I’ve been unable to keep in touch with. Life is chaotic in general. But throw in a new job; combine it with a new city; add 9…
Ever since I left the city
It’s been awhile since my last post – I’ve been a little off the grid. There’s so much to do and see and discover. And in the few moments where I actually do have time to myself to sit down and write, there’s this overwhelming feeling of not knowing where to start because there’s so much…
Birds of a feather
When I made the decision to come to Dubai there was one specific friend I knew I had to talk to before discussing it without anyone else. Not only is he quite possibly the most likeminded/adventurous friend of mine; but he’s also the person who always seems to have the right answers when I need…
Get out of your own way
So an astounding number of people have been reading these posts and sending me messages. These messages fall into three categories: the “wow you’re so brave, I wish I could do that” messages. the “why on earth would you move to the Middle East” messages. the “how on earth are you affording this” messages. Firstly, you…
