About me

Gender Female
Location Airdrie, Alberta, Canada
Introduction I am 27 years old and have a BA with a major in English. Currently, I am a grad student specializing in both Adult Education and Cultural Studies. The working title of my final project is "In Search of the Future: An Exploration of the Star Trek Franchise and its Potential Cultural Effects". So yes, I may be a nerd...but I am also full of wanderlust, extremely passionate about food and cooking, and I love to laugh! This blog is the start of my next great adventure, as I attempt to throw my heart out in front of me and run ahead to catch it...
