My name is Lashan, and I moved 16000km away from my home in Sydney Australia to try and make a life in my favourite city in the whole world – Montreal, Canada. Follow me on my journey making a life on the opposite side of the planet! I share my life as an expat trying to make a life here, guides on how to do it, travel videos, travel stories, lifestyle stuff and vlogs as well. I love travel, photography, video and just creating stuff in general, so come join me as I try to smash it all together.
