I’m Anna!
Since making the move from Toronto four years ago, I’ve fallen in love with Calgary’s unique blend of small-city charm and vibrant community spirit.
Whether it’s exploring the stunning natural landscapes or enjoying the local restaurants, Calgary offers a lifestyle that balances nature, connection, and a true sense of belonging.
This city has exceeded my expectations, and I’m passionate about helping others discover all the wonderful things it has to offer.
Why I left Toronto
After years of living in Toronto, I became well-acquainted with the hustle and grind culture of fast-paced environments. Like many Torontonians, I juggled multiple jobs—sometimes as a student, sometimes as a fully-fledged adult—while trying to navigate the competitive worlds of creativity and entertainment. The grind was real…and so was the exhaustion.
Then came COVID-19 — a blessing in disguise. My partner and I had enough: tired of condo living, struggling to keep up with rent, and constantly surrounded by more people than we could count.
By March 2021, we decided to take a leap of faith. We quit our jobs, moved out of our condo, and packed our lives—including our two cats—into our 2011 Honda Civic. With hope (and snacks), we drove across the country to Calgary, a city that we believe promised a fresh start and a brighter future.
It’s been an wild journey so far, but I haven’t looked back since.
Toronto will always feel like home…
—a city full of opportunities to learn and grow.
But Calgary offers something uniquely special: a sense of serenity, endless possibilities, and the space to reconnect with yourself and the natural world.
