Autumn Grant, " PR and Blogger"

Island hopping, Southern Philippines

"Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Autumn Grant is ingrained with a healthy and active lifestyle. After graduating high school Autumn spread her wings for her first real adventure to Florence where she spent a year working as an au pair for an Italian family. She spent her time studying the Italian language, fashion and art, frequently visiting local markets and learning to cook the authentic way. Being so enriched in a particular culture, Autumn realized the importance and value of travel. It allowed her to open up and connect with people from all over the world and inspired her like nothing else. Upon her return back to Canada she decided to study International Development Studies and Environment, Sustainability, and Society at Dalhousie University. She was an active member of the student union, Co-Chair of the TOMS@Dal society, and part of the honours thesis class of 2013. However, it was the university summers abroad that Autumn looked forward to most. Between backpacking through Central America and South East Asia, to volunteering in Africa, she took every opportunity to get away as it was a chance to explore a new corner of the world. It’s safe to say she is happiest at the seaside; whether it’s a yoga practice on the beach, a surf session on the water, or a dive to explore the underwater world, the ocean is where you will find Autumn at her finest.

Am I too sensitive? Aren't You?

Am I too sensitive? Yes, I do take things personally for example when a person calls you fat to your face or when they laugh, and gossip behind your back and you find out about it, are you telling me you are not offended? Hurt perhaps? That is complete baloney! You hear that you have too much time on your hands and that you always need attention? I have never met anyone that didn't want or need to be noticed, but I hang out with entrepreneurs and artists, so we need to be seen, or the business doesn't work. Also most people I meet come from dysfunctional families, oh and every one of us came from one, whether we like to admit to it or not. I try to incorporate kindness, mindfulness also integrity in everything I do. I am not the type of person who cheats and steals when I know the person needs my help, I am usually the first person to encourage and get people together. I hate drama, but I love it too! As Filipinos, we love our teleserya, and telenovelas (TV Dramas) What is

What is a prank phone call?

Photo was taken by  +Krista Corcoran This photo was given to us by our good friend for Christmas a few years back. But do you see that they are children and innocent in the ways of the world?  They are sweet loving children even our dog is terrific, and I am not just saying that because they are mine. They don't belong to me but they belong to themselves, I always say they belong to me, but really they are not things to be owned. They are my heart and my everything. A few years after this photo is now my daughter attending a different school in the new institution we call junior high. My husband and I are away for our trip to celebrate our 19 years of being together as a couple. We arrive from our trip in the middle of the night, and the children happen to be staying with our family. I sneak in beside my daughter and fall asleep beside her, and within a few minutes of snuggling close to her, I notice she is shivering. Sounds came out of her that I had never heard before, not e
