WELCOME
Welcome to my Substack! Follow me on WanderWhims; I am a young, Black, professional woman on an exciting journey of making a new home in Canada.
Originally from England, I embarked on this adventure to explore new horizons, embrace new cultures, and carve out a space for myself in this beautiful country.
As a social worker, I've always dreamed of working in North America/Canada since graduation, but I lacked a reference point. This Substack is my way of creating that reference for others who share the same aspiration.
Through my posts, I'll share my personal experiences and insights on:
- Immigration & Travel: Navigating the complexities of moving to a new country, from visa applications to settling in a new city.
- Professional Life: How I transitioned into the Canadian workforce, the challenges I faced, and the triumphs that made it all worthwhile.
- Lifestyle: My favourite beauty products, skincare routines, and style tips that celebrate my heritage and individuality.
- Culinary Adventures: Exploring cuisine and sharing recipes that bring a taste of home to my new kitchen.
Join me as I document the highs and lows, the learning moments, and the joyous discoveries of building a life in Canada. Whether you're considering a similar move, curious about life abroad, or just here for some beauty and food inspiration, there's something for everyone.
Let's embark on this journey together!
Stay connected,
WW
