Hi! My name is Lara. I am from Victoria, BC. I have lived in Victoria my whole life and hope to someday teach somewhere on the island. One of the many reasons why I love Vancouver Island is because it is surrounded by nature. It is easy to get out of the city and go to a beach, lake, or forest. I live on a little hobby farm with my family. We have two horses named Wyatt and Remy, a dog named Loki, and a cat named Morty.
My favourite hobbies include reading, thrifting, gardening, and skiing. I am also very passionate about travel and love visiting new places. In 2023, I did a three- month backing trip and visited Croatia, Greece, Italy, France, England, Scotland, Netherlands, and Iceland. It was such an amazing experience, and I learned so much about myself and other people in the world. This sparked a travel bug that I now cannot seem to shake. In 2024, I travelled to Portugal and Spain for three weeks, and this year I am going to Austria and Switzerland. There are so many other places I would love to visit, and I always love hearing about other people’s travel stories. Someday, I would love to try teaching in different countries and experience the various teaching and learning practices.
