Inspired. All it takes is one little thing that happens in a day or moment to have the thoughts just flowing. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on a big adventure in another country but that doesn’t mean the journey in my life hasn’t continued. It felt like nothing exciting was happening but in reality, it’s been full of incredible moments over the last couple years.To name a couple big ones: completed my first half marathon and in NYC to top it off, hiked a couple more mountains, explored Hawaii,  Cuba, Puerto Vallarta for my friends wedding and last but not least and most important, walked the 100 km march for the Kidney Foundation for one of the most important people in my life, my Father.

My life in a little tourist village(Fairmont Hot Springs), turned out to be a longer experience than anticipated. It became home but I knew there was still something more for me. Every person that I met there, touched my heart in some way or another and I had a hard time leaving (you know who you are). In reality though, that little village and my amazing jobs and the people I met helped me realize that I can be successful. I know I can. That led me to finally getting over a major fear that I had: attending college.

Now here I am 3 months in and only a couple weeks to go, I’ve never been so interested in learning and striving to be the best I can be. I have the drive to be a super successful person and I know it will take time with lots of hard work but I’ll get there soon.

Vancouver has been an unccontrollable amont of ups and downs. Not exactly how I pictured my move to Vancouver to be. In the end though,  taking risks do pay off. Many times I have wanted to give up on trying to make a life here even if it was short term, but I kept seeing what was at the end.

It’s almost time to start another new chapter but first end this one. I will have completed a Tourism program, Event Planning Certificate and work experience that has given me an amazing opportunity. I’ve also learned way more Spanish and finally starting to feel confident to speak a little. My creative side is spinning non stop and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Moral of this post is simple. Don’t stop believing. Only you can be the one who can make you successful, just  believe what you can become. Don’t just sit back and wait, take action by taking risks. You never know what might come out of it. Explore different options. Never give up. If you fail, pick back up and achieve the second time around.

I still don’t know exactly what my next chapter in my life is or supposed to be, but that’s the fun of not knowing and just living. I do know one thing. Being in Australia in March.

Stay tuned to see what happens next. I was just a small town Alberta girl(always will be at heart) but what will I become is the question…
