My name is Ocean Atwood. I am from a small town in Nova Scotia called Barrington Passage. I am a 20-year-old dog mom, nursing student, and adventure seeker. I am currently attending Dalhousie University and am in my final year of studying to be a Registered Nurse. I own two dogs, Abby, whose a german shepherd and Jersey, whose a chocolate lab. My interests include dogs, fishing, hiking, kayaking, craft beer, traveling, writing, and country music. 

 

I also have a speech impediment. I have stuttered since I was six years old and it has impacted my life greatly. Recently, I have been more accepting of my stutter and know that this is a part of me. Stuttering is a communication and disfluency disorder where the flow of speech is interrupted. I have posted a blog about this if you're interested in learning more!

 

  WHERE HAVE I BEEN?  

 

In Canada, I have traveled to New Brunswick; Prince Edward Island; Montreal, Quebec; Quebec City; Toronto, Ontario; Ottawa, Ontario.

 

I went on a road trip through fifteen states when I was a teenager in high school. This included: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusets, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin & Minnesota. 

 

Outside of North America, I have traveled to Varadero, Cuba and Cuzco, Peru (the most EXCITING trip ever!).

 

In 2019 my trips planned include Phuket, Thailand and Dublin, Ireland.
