Many of the times, I love going on cafes to help me calm down, or even just lowkey being a big-back to enjoy food and the environment once in a while !!!

Even in the middle of the city I can see the lights so bright during fall and winter. I like to look for them on my way home from work. It's very calming

There are so many farms to visit only 30 mins away from my city! In summer we can go berry picking, apples and corn in fall, and maple sap in the winter.

Here is a beautiful hike I did in Canada. This hike took about 6 hours and it was such a beautiful view. Although it was very tiring it was so much fun!

I was shopping and decided to try this place I’ve never been before and it turned out to be so good. I love their ramen and I go there whenever I can.

Rockwood Park is the green heart of Saint John, NB. I look forward to long walks through its winding trails and peaceful bike rides beneath the trees.

Lake sailing on Marsh Lake in the Yukon. There's nothing like the rock of the boat and the breeze on your face. Summer sunny days are just the best.

In spring we have beautiful cherry blossom trees. They have light pink flowers and the petals fall off the tree. My family calls this pink snow.

I was born on a small island in the Caribbean but moved to Canada when I was super young. I vaguely remember some things, but this is my home!

I’ve taken up cooking as a hobby because it's not only fun and visually pleasing, but also nutritious. Does so much for your mind and body :)

I harvest crabapple trees in the neighbourhood and make crabapple jellies and jams. It usually takes me 3 days from harvesting to canning.

Toronto is such a beautiful city, even more at night. Seeing the lights from all the buildings and the C.N. Tower is such an amazing sight.

A small campground on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Lovely listening to the waves at night. Juno, my 4 year old Keeshond, in the foreground.

Canadians are well mannered. To keep everyone happy. Helping others out is what we do best. Accepting everyone is what we are founded on.
