About Me

Living My Truth

Hello! I'm Tania. After a life-changing journey on the 800 kilometer Camino de Santiago, I sold my townhouse, purged my belongings, quit my job, and then solo-traveled in South America for 4 months. Currently, I live in Oliver, B.C. I continue to live simply with less so I can live the life that I want. My inner and outer journey continues. Welcome to my blog!
