Categories: books · WritingTags: · · · · · · 1 Comment

Can you believe its the middle of January and here I am with no new year resolutions in sight (I’m working on it)! The one resolution I do have, similar to that of last year – is to read more. Last year I discovered a gem of an app called ‘Goodreads’, it’s an absolute must for bookworms like myself. Goodreads Goodreads helps you to discover new books as well as add books to a virtual library, compartmentalising them into 3 sections: Want to read, currently reading and read.

I was super nervous to be flying on my own, so naturally, when I landed in Toronto, It completely slipped my mind to let the immigration officer know that I needed to activate my IEC visa. This is basically a document that allows you to work and live in Canada for up to 2 years. ** I’ll either create a video or a post on here with more information on how to apply for the IEC Visa** After around an hour of stressing & fighting back the tears, after being told by the immigration officer that I wouldn’t be able…
