It’s been such a long time since I’ve introduced myself—I thought it was about time.⁣

I started this account back in 2018 with a passion for travel & writing. I came up with the name LostBlondeSole, not because I don’t know how to use the right version of the word “sole/soul” but because I wanted to encapsulate trying to find your path. ⁣

As I have changed this account has changed with me, I don’t talk much about travel anymore, but I find the name is still very suiting. When I unexpectedly got pregnant with our son back in 2018 I had no idea the ways in which my life & world would be turned on its head (outside of the obvious). I started to unpack my own childhood. Postpartum was one of the hardest times of my life. I was faced with chronic pain throughout my entire body, from head to toe. This sent me on a mission to figure out what the f**k was going on.⁣

I came to realize that I had been suppressing trauma & pain for so long that my body couldn’t handle it anymore, it was shutting down on me—thus began the long journey of healing, mind, body & soul. I’m still a soul trying to find her path, walking around a little lost. I try not to box myself in. I’m a multifaceted human who each & every single day is discovering more about her self.⁣

The motto I have carried with me comes from the great Brené Brown - “Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.”⁣

-Mental health⁣
-Narcissistic abuse & recovery, along with the choice to go no contact with my mother and step-father⁣

So….Who am I?

I was 6…maybe 7. Straight blonde hair spilling over my shoulders as I turned and looked back at my mom who was a blurry silhouette through my tears. She through her hand up in the air and mustered up the best smile she could and waved goodbye. I waved back then looked towards the lady who was waiting patiently a few steps ahead; she had long brunette hair that was tied back in a tight ponytail, wearing a navy blue pencil skirt and a blazer with the red logo to symbolize “Air Canada” on her left shoulder. The lady extended her arm and I reached for her hand and we walked towards the gates. There was a lanyard hanging from my neck with the letters “UM” written on the tag; indicating I was an “unaccompanied minor.”

I was born in Lasalle, Quebec; when my parents split up my mom moved back to her home (Vancouver, British Columbia) but this time with a new roommate (me). From the age of 2 I have been flying back and forth from Vancouver to Montreal and started flying solo at the age of 5 (up to a 6 hr flight each way) yearly. I’ll admit, some years I HATED getting on that plane alone, but jump forward; I have never been more grateful to have had such an opportunity like I had starting at such an young age and continuing to be apart of my life forever. I can say without a doubt I was truly born with the travel bug.

Now my fiancé and I spend our time building our “empire” as we like to call it while ensuring we make time to travel to as many places as we can. My goal is to share our adventures, travel tips, and help you travel the best way possible. Not just a Canadian travel blog, but one to help young people trying to start their lives while living in expensive cities travel around the world.
