About Me

My photo
I'm a second year student at U of T in St. Michael's College studying Architecture, Visual Art Studio, and Art History. I never intended on going into the Intercordia Program but ended up in a meeting somehow and it spoke to me like nothing else had. I knew it was something I needed to do and I'm really excited to be spending May, June, July, and a little bit of August 2009 in Estili, Nicaragua volunteering at Funarte! Intercordia is a registered charity. BN# 833547870RR0001

Cumpleaños!

I must be brief but I just wanted to thank everyone for the warm birthday wishes and also inclose that I had such a great 20th birthday here in the wonderful Nica. Friday was filled with many cakes, and a night of live music and friends and family. Saturday the girls got up way too early to board a bus Miraflor bound and go to our favourite getaway at Gene and Katharina´s finca. We got a private cabana with a hammock and washroom! And the dogs, kittens, horses, chickens, and cows roamed free. The food and rum were both plentiful and amazing! Especially after our afternoon hike to the Cascada where all four lovely ladies jumped in to reap the glorious benefits of the pure and refreshing water! It is such an amazing feeling to feel cold and have to wear pants and drink fresh peppermint tea from the garden after dinner! We had such a bonding extravaganza. I love my girlies here. Got back Sunday night and had a low key night. Going to La Casita with Marissa in la tardes and then back at work mañana!
