I am leaving on April 1st for 6 weeks for my first solo trip. I am very excited to meet my hosts and to visit a new province of our beautiful country! I am going to live with a couple that lives on a 30 acres property, about 15 minutes away from Victoria, on Vancouver Island. They have two dogs and a cat, a Border Collie named ‘’Molly’’, an Australian shepherd named ‘’Frankie’’ and an outdoors cat named ‘’Bacon’’. I am going to help them by taking care of house tasks, and I will assist the lady with her physical rehabilitation. The couple would also like to learn French and come visit Quebec soon, so a challenge that I will give myself is to give them a base in French so they can communicate well here.
I hope to see a famous castle in Victoria, the Craigdarroch Castle because I am a huge fan of history and I enjoy learning about royal families. Another spot I would like see is Cathedral Grove, a forest where some trees are over 800-year-old.
For now, my goal is to finish preparing my luggage and last minute details. My biggest fear for the moment is to take the plane on my own and know where to go in the airport, but when I’ll put my feet in the plane, my journey will officially begin! I’m excited for what is to come, a new adventure and a new challenge.
See you next Sunday for an update on my adventure!!
