A Lot Can Happen in 4 Months!
I just sat down on the couch to check this blog, which is something I have done a few times in the last month, but each time I do, I don’t feel inspired to write anything…so I close the page and decide that I will write when I feel inspired to do so. When I […]

Tofino Brewing Co and Toki Doki!
When I think of Tofino the first thing that comes to mind is surfing and ocean. However, if the weather is stormy and the waves are big, you might not want to be out in the water. With this being said, you have to find different ways to spend your time in Tofino. A good […]

Coffee Shops you Can’t Miss When Visiting Port Alberni!
As many of my friends and family know, I love a good latte and I am always on the hunt for a good coffee shop. There are many things that go into what I think makes a good coffee shop – how aesthetically pleasing it, if they will take your reusable cup, if they offer […]

My Experience with Shared-Living in Tofino, BC
As I come to the end of my time living and working in Tofino, I have begun to reflect on my experience of living in a staff accommodation with (at times) up to 70 other people. In Tofino, there is an extreme housing crisis (as with a lot of other places) and most people have […]
