Hi! I'm Cynthia, a 30-something year-old Canadian on a mission to turn my life into a worldwide adventure. It's been over 10 years since I realized a conventional life was not for me, bought a one-way ticket to Central America, and stepped into the wild unknown. Ever since, I've been traveling and living abroad, and am now based on Koh Tao, a tiny tropical island paradise in the Gulf of Thailand where I co-founded and co-own Ocean Sound Dive + Yoga. 

I'm fueled by a desire to live every day to the max, and to see as much of this beautiful planet as I can. I have university degrees in ecology (the study of ecosystems, nature, and evolution) and primatology (the study of apes, monkeys, and other non-human primates), and I'm also a yoga teacher, and (former) SCUBA dive instructor. I adore Mother Nature, and exploring her vast wilderness. Whether I'm galloping on horseback along Morocco's Atlantic coast, diving with sharks in Fiji, or hiking through New Zealand's endless forests, I feel most at home when I'm on an adventure in a foreign land.

I've created this site to share my experiences with you, as well as practical tips and tricks that I've learned (often the hard way) over the years. I want to show you that it's possible to create a life you love, and to turn an ordinary life into an extraordinary adventure. Join me for the ride.

Here's the full story of how I left Canada and created a life I love.
