After a few years had passed since I graduated with my Bachelors of Science degree from Arizona State University, I wanted to expand on two of the elements of humanity that intrigued me. The history of our species, my first degree was in Anthropology, and art. I had been painting my entire life and while I have had success in the art world, I just wanted something more. I wasn’t particular designed to sit alone in a painting studio for hours, I wanted to be more involved in the world.  I had also been fascinated for some time about the Canadian city of Vancouver, so I decided to apply to the graduate program at the University of British Columbia . On the day that I received my acceptance letter, I figured it was time to start making plans for the move, even though it was a few month away. Not knowing exactly where to start when it came to looking for a place to live, I went online and found what I needed to at this site, check here . I found the information extremely helpful, I wish these kinds of sites were around when I had first started college. It offered information not only on apartment listings, but advice on looking for a job and how to make sure that you find a great roommate.  As the time for me to move drew nearer, I rented my apartment before I had even left the states. It was very comforting to know that I had a place of my own waiting for me. After two years, I had my Masters of Arts in Art History. I now work for the Vancouver Art Gallery , and we are in the middle of the Leonardo Da Vinci show, The Mechanics of Man. I liked that city so much that I just decided to stay once I graduated. And now that I can afford to move to a bigger apartment, I am staying in this one for a while, because where I am at right now, just feels too much like home.
