Hello Fam Jam,
Welcome!
I have decided, after many months (and, if you look at my blog dates, years) to restart this lovely journey into connecting with people, because, well, why not?!?! I will also be doing youtube videos, as that was my original plan back in 2012 when I started this blog and my youtube channel.
SO!! My blog and my YT channel have been reformatted, reinvigorated, reinterpreted, and what have you to conform to how my life is now. Exciting, isn't it?!
I have oodles of video and blog ideas that I will be embarking on and I am looking forward to the path ahead.
So many changes have happened, so many life events, that it's almost hard to keep events straight!
I have grown so much since my first foray into blogging and vlogging; I've acquired different skills, started different hobbies, moved back to Canada, and had a plethora of adventures in the interim.
I have so many ideas, I almost don't know where to start! But, we shall start at an introduction:
Hello and greetings!
My name is Kristina, I am of indeterminate age (834, to be exact, jokes) and am a lover of travel, music, dance and my fur baby. I am a fan of salsa and bachata dancing and unfortunately due to a vehicle accident in the later half of 2019 and the incurring injuries, have not been able to properly pole for since.
I have my degree in Psychology, my Diploma in Petroleum Engineering and a TEFL certification from TEFLWorldWidePrague.
I have worked overseas as an English/homeroom teacher in both South Korea and China, was an educational assistant here in Canada and am now working at an oil and gas company while I figure life out and how I want it to proceed.
Three years ago this past August, I went through a major health scare while in the middle of going back to school for my Diploma, and life hasn't been the same since. The emergency room doctors found a growth in my abdomen and after major surgery and a small intestine bisection, it was found that I had had cancer; bowel cancer to be exact. And since that point in time I have had to face my own mortality every 6 months with cancer screenings. I have been fortunate to have been dealing with this in Canada, my home country where these tests and seeing my oncologist is free. I have had the all clear this entire time since surgery and have now moved onto yearly testing.
I was able to bring dance back into my life, because it runs through my veins and I could never live without it. I was on 2 dance teams in the city and have been accepted into the dance community there.
As to why I'm doing this; as I've said above, I've always wanted to and having watched Simon and Martina of eatyourkimchi/eatyoursushi fame, Wong Fu Productions, We Fancy, The Try Guys, Megan Bowen, and most recently Kara and Nate, I figured I should at least try doing this in some way, shape, or form because we usually regret NOT doing something, rather than the opposite, which is regretting doing something.
I hope to bring interesting videos and blogs about a variety of things related to life and, if possible, maybe even help people in their own journey of discovery, personal development, and finding their own way.
Look out for a short video as well that pertains to a re-introduction of myself and my why in the next few days.
Peace out, girlscouts!
Here is my YT video!!
