I was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada which is right beside Detroit. As a child, I traveled around Canada a lot. I am Scottish from my mother’s side and French, Brazilian, and Native American from my father’s side. I’m definitely my mother’s daughter: I decided to spread my wings and make travel a part of my life, too!
