“Don’t do your laundry on the weekends”
“Do you really know where you live? Do you know the ins and outs of every street, and every seemingly unknown path? Take a minute and explore the unknown. Say hello to a complete stranger and ask them to show you around… and I’m pretty sure you’ll be amazed at what you can find, even…

Si algo no te gusta, cámbialo.
If you don’t like something, change it. All these long days over the last 21 weeks have caught up to me. I don’t feel like me anymore. I’m exhausted. Not just physically, but mentally. There are days when I feel like I care so little; and there are moments when all I want to do…

House Plants
For the first time since June I’ve just had 2 whole glorious days off in a row! It’s incredible how free you feel when you get 2 solid sleep-ins and all the time in the world to do anything you want, or nothing at all. And you better believe I’ve soaked in every last wonderful…

Expat Culture Shock
expatriatenounnoun: expatriate; plural noun: expatriates/ɪksˈpatrɪət,ɪksˈpeɪtrɪət,ɛksˈpatrɪət,ɛksˈpeɪtrɪət/ Ever since I began travelling, I’ve always wanted to live in another country. It was something that was always gnawing at me. Not that I wasn’t happy living in Canada (in fact, travelling has made me realize how lucky I am to call Canada home), but I longed to live…

R&R in Malaysia
I feel like I just blew past the fact that I spent 2 weeks in Malaysia for my R&R; but since it was such an incredible experience, I think it deserves it’s own post. I decided on Malaysia for a couple of reasons: 1. I’d never been there before 2. It was super close, and…

Kites over camp
I can’t believe how fast time is going… and it’s been a while since I’ve given a proper update on what’s been going on over here, so it’s time to share! First of all, check out Cox’s Bazar from the air: … not a bad place hey? Anyways… A few days after I returned from…

Trials of Joy
I just re-read my last blog post and was very tempted to go through and edit it. The spelling and grammer were awful, and parts of it didn’t make any sense, but I decided against it. I think it’s better to be real and honest with ourselves, and with others. And before I left for…

Cow Markets …and other delusional thoughts
“Sorry I was delayed in getting back to the office… traffic was terrible…I got stuck in the middle of cow market.” I don’t even know where the last 2 weeks have gone… but here I am, somehow finding a chance to sit down somewhere other than in a car going to the field, or on…

I have a thing about rooftops
I don’t know what it is about them, but I have a thing about rooftops. They’re where I’ve fallen in love, where I’ve met my best friend, and where I’ve had my heart broken into a million pieces. Some of my best memories are on rooftops. Like that one time Marc and I had a…

Boss Lady
Goodbyes are never easy, especially when they leave you all alone. Two days after returning to Bangladesh I had to say good-bye to one of my co-workers. The first health manager here, and an American search and rescue military paramedic, Willy’s been with me from the beginning. For the past 6 weeks, he’s been showing…
