I was born in Canada. When I was a baby, I visited St. Maarten in the Caribbean. When I was a toddler, I lived in Arizona for more than a year, and visited California, Nevada, and Mexico. As a child, I traveled to Florida every year during the winter and traveled around Ontario in the summer. When I was 16, I returned to California, Mexico, and Arizona, then visited Australia for a month. Later that year I went on a cruise to Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama. When I was 17 I visited Italy and spent a month volunteering in Romania. This year I went on a cruise to Jamaica and Grand Cayman, and this summer I will be going to France and Romania. Next winter I will be going back to Costa Rica for a week, and next summer I will be exploring the South American country of Guyana for 8 weeks, then heading to Italy and Spain for a month.
