Photo Journal No. 3: Green Valley Lake, CA

This past December I visited my extended family on the West Coast in California. During my time in the LA area I was lucky enough to get to spend a few days at the family cottage on Green Valley Lake at an elevation of 7,000

This fall I had the unique opportunity to up and move out west to Vancouver for two months with one of my close friends. We both accepted co-op positions at a Vancouver-based company and decided to use our new jobs as an opportunity to travel

In my most recent co-op recruiting period I got hired by a Vancouver-based company to complete my third, and final, co-op term of my undergraduate degree. There was an option to work fully remotely from Ontario, or to move out west for a more hybrid working experience.

A Week in London

I’ve been under a lot of pressure to get this post up, so here goes! Shoutout to my good friend Riley for always reading and enjoying my travel posts, typos and all haha. This one’s for you Ri 😉

When I left off last, I was in York with my mom and sister (see A Stopover in York, England). After our 24 hour stay in York, we hopped on an early morning train to London where we spent the next seven days.

Since London has so much to see, this is probably going to be a rather long post, so fasten your seat belts and prepare yourselves for the ride. I hope you all enjoy! Continue reading A Week in London
