Baby Got Back!

After a leave of absence, I'm rebuilding my relationship with my blogspot account. This makes me very happy. I've finally uploaded my trip pictures to Fbook and decorated my page with some as well.
I got offered a job at the hostel downtown (C'mon Inn Hostel) almost as soon as I came home. The new owners, (my bosses) are phenomenal. I'm so lucky to be working with/for inspiring people, at both the C'mon Inn and Sequoia. How many people can say they LOVE their boss? Between managing this place, my old hours at Sequoia with the gang and helping out friends,  I've been pretty busy. I put all my plans and projects for summer on the back burner for now, but they are still brewing in my brain somewhere, unconsciously. I now feel confident that I will be able to fully take advantage of summer, because of the brilliant, beautiful staff at the hostel. ( Thank you, thank you, thank you) We're getting shit done! The only thing I love more then making lists is checking things off of them. We are expecting quite a few new staff within the next couple weeks. SO EXCITING.

                                         As of now, I can look forward to the following;

  • Laying in the sun at Emery Leger (above photo), camping with the girls, Steph's cottage (fingers crossed), BBQ's on the hostel patio, music project with Gilles & Marty, after-noon beers in the sun, (NEW!) weekly events at the hostel and lot's of food and laughs.
  • Essa (oldest friend of life) is visiting with new BF in August, from MTL (woooo!). 
  • Pavel (my best bud, my rock, my go-to guy) whom I haven't seen in what we calculated to be 1.5 years (How can this be?!) is coming down in August. Camping and fires.
  • My little bro is moving out! We're going to spend a few days in Qc. city setting him up and hanging out.
  • My aunt is renovating a house in Port Felix, N.S. to turn into a hostel (amazing) and we're making plans so that I can go help/kayak/breath. 
  • And of course keep hanging out with amazing staff and travelers, cyclists, hitchhikers to come, at the hostel.
