Based on my topic today, I did some research in regards to beginning to start saving NOW, today, as soon as possible! Planning a long backpack trip can be a daunting task especially under a student budget. Where do I begin? What’s step one? What’s step two? What’s step three?

My name is May Ghalib, and I am a recent graduate from Brock University with a Kinesiology degree. Now you are probably curious to why a Kinesiologist is in teachers college?

Stay tuned for my future blog posts, videos, lessons, and class activities. Also, if you have time, check out this quick shor...
