From Home to the Next Chapter

My two weeks at home have flown by! It's been so busy; as I've been trying to fit in seeing as many friends as possible around touring the country to see all my family. Not to mention my quick visit back into my previous secondary school to speak at the sixth form welcoming assembly. It's been so lovely which has made it even harder to leave this time!

As per usual a new chapter means a new blog page which I will set up a leave a link below. My traveling timetable has been so rushed I haven't had time to pause with a coffee and blog yet! But this train service from Toronto to Ottawa is the perfect time. 4 hours to settle down with some free wifi and get my thoughts onto paper. Be it non physical paper.

My new blog! www.zaklovellsummer.blogspot.com

Coming home and sharing stories with friends, family and students has been a really good reflecting  exercise. Being self aware of how happy I actually am with what I'm doing, and the impacts it's making on my character is quite exciting.
I din't realise that going to live and work in another country with a bunch of strangers isn't a 'normal' thing to do. What's more, me and my big mouth have been quite successful at this, and not everyone would be.
I only came to the realisation over a cup of tea with my old school teacher. She helped me piece this year together and build up the confidence to go and do it whilst going through my a levels. I think she can relate so to my travels because she did the same at one point and is proud and jealous of what I've done!

Now onto the next chapter. But first, some pictures: (when I have better connection! Stay tuned)















Love to my family xx
