I felt empowered by my cooking classes at Lava Land to pursue my culinary dreams, now I'm working an amazing job cooking in a fine dining restaurant and attending culinary school.

Driving the big truck to fill up water was way more fun than I was expecting. Plus I feel way more comfortable with fixing things on my car when they go wrong now. Thanks Dom!

I loved getting snuggle all the animals. I love Monty sooo much. I'm going to start doing a vet tech program in the future.

Lava Land was an extra-ordinary life experience. I'm so happy for the time I had in the kitchen, the fresh vegetables and eggs, the clean air and peaceful life. I loved my little Nest. This was a dream come true. I'm just so sad to leave. I hope I can come back some day.

Honestly, I hate to admit it but I was starting to feel like life was hopeless like I'd missed the boat or something. Now, I feel inspired. Ready to see what new adventure awaits. Maybe I'll backpack across Canada, or get a job picking fruit for the summer. I don't know what's next, but I know I'm ready.
