Hi, I’m Trea!

I’m a small-town Canadian girl who turned British EXPAT in 2015. I moved to England with 3 suitcases and big dreams. I’m obsessed with travel, and my teaching career. I love catching the last bit of sun, exploring new locations both near me and abroad, trying new food, and snuggling with my cats. I’ve been laughing at my own bad jokes since the beginning.
