Notes From The Road: Life In A Refugee Camp
Friends, I would be lying if I told you that I was 100% confident about spending time at a refugee camp. When I decided to visit the Timai refugee camp in eastern Nepal, I was haunted by visions of starving, sad-faced kiddos and a crowd chasing down one, harassed chicken with sharpened sticks.And maybe a little bit concerned about how one showers or uses the bathroom in a refugee camp, in one of...

I started work this week. And by “work,” I mean “the job I’m doing to pay my school tuition, but that I by no means enjoy in the slightest.” And I’m apparently not alone at all in employment dispassion. I have a...

Tell us a bit about yourself! I'm Millie, I'm in my late twenties, and I grew up in a fairly boring stretch of suburban Southern Ontario. I'm a PhD grad student in the physical sciences at a Canadian...
