DESTINATIONS
I've lived in Canada, the United States, Russia, Brunei and the United Kingdom.
Fifteen years abroad changed the way I think about people, belonging and home—and inevitably, the stories I tell.
Living between places taught me that home is more complicated than geography. It taught me to notice what changes between cultures, what doesn't, and how differently the same world can look depending on where you're standing.
