I didn’t take a voluntary gap year – instead I got rejected by many universities and had no choice but to take a year off. Sounds bad, but it’s happening to students every year… and you know what? There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, if you capitalize on your time, there is a…
So I’ve decided to dedicate this post to everyone who wants to “take the next step” but is struggling to initiate the move. I recently moved to British Columbia from Ontario. Was it planned? Not really. Want my advice… Do it. I would be lying if the thought of moving to Vancouver did not cross…

I went backpacking, both alone and with friends, and without a doubt it was the best decision I have ever made.…
