Memorable 2012 Moments

Amazing QC trip; Sleeping in the ice hotel, snowboarding down a real mountain (Mont. St Anne), Winter Carnival and Snow Tubing Park with my lover, Chris.

Ottawa with my close girlfriends + snowboarding down Mont Tremblant for the first time. Blown away by the amazing view.

Trying luging for the first time… with my parents!

Camping and going white water tubing.

Seeing and eating New York City with Linda. Electric Zoo 2012: Above and Beyond was amazing. Backstreet Boys free concert was so nostalgic. And the food is too delicious… *droolz

Boston with my YSDN girls. So much fun seeing the city and trying the seafood. Clam Chowdah!
