To the next adventure and my life's journey

So I started this post just as I took off from Greece. I have now arrived in Istanbul, Turkey spent a looooong night in the airport waiting for delayed friends and a groggy day in the city experiencing it from the point of view of Canadians living there to learn language and culture. Today I’ll be playing the tourist so watch good ole insta for my pics (#davelife). It’s already proven to be a beautiful city with incredible people, I can not wait to dive deeper.

Istanbul, Turkey


I started this journey a month ago relatively unsure that I was making a correct decision but excited for the adventure.  On the outside I maintained confidence and verbally rationalized my decision with ease, on the inside I was far less secure.

I can without reservation now state that it was the correct decision. My time on Lesvos was some of the most heart wrenching, exhausting, awesomeness that I have ever experienced. The opportunity to work along side the team at EuroRelief is one that I will cherish indefinitely. I only wish that I had planned to stay longer.


I also expected to develop vision for the career path that I am supposed to take. So far however I only have more questions. I keep waiting for a road sign to show up in front of me or the right door to swing open; instead I just have another piece of a bigger puzzle to ponder. So as I continue to ponder my future please keep me in your thoughts and prayers (they are always appreciated). I know that the veil will lift eventually, it always does. haha

Thailand Adventures

Well as I post this I have just spent my first night back in Canada. AHHHH so good to be back on home soil. I love to travel but also definitely have a full appreciation of being back where everyone speaks english and I can drink the water. haha The final 3 weeks of my journey were been spent in Thailand I a rrived in Krabi and click my brain into arrival mode - bought another new sim, got money and figured out how to actually get to my hotel on Railay beach as it can only be reached by boat. I figure out the bus/boat system (sort of anyways) buy my ticket an hop aboard. Easy peasy, or so I think... A good 30 minutes into my trip I am chatting away with my random new friend (I've had a lot of those) when the bus pulls over on the side of the highways and the driver yells at me this is my stop, I am very confused as its the edge of the road not at a pier which I thought we were going to and there is no water anywhere in sight which makes no sense to me because I am su

Malaysia - Dave Life Squared

Upon my departure from Istanbul, I made my way through Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur to my next destination - Penang, Malaysia.  Within moments of my arrival to Malaysia, I had a new SIM card, pocket full of Malaysian cash and was ready for adventures! The first of which was my very first UBER ride. Yes I realize I am one of the few people to never have used this service before but man was it sweet. As a traveller I am always nervous in a new city, there are way too many stories of getting ripped off by cabbies at the airport. UBER let me watch the entire drive towards my destination with their real time map, talk about piece of mind. Add in the fact that it was about $10 for a 45 minute drive across the city and we will call that a win.  Touring around on the back of Dave's bike, snapping pics as I went Post UBER experience I arrived at my friends Dave, Tasha and family's condo which was big, beautiful and way less to rent than mine back home, these expat guys are do
