Hey, I’m Adamie!

Join me on my journey going from small town to Montreal

My name is Adamie, I grew up in a small community in the James Bay area called Chisasibi. I moved to the city in 2022 for school after taking a gap year to work before going to college.

Since moving, I realized quickly that I would need a lot of time to adjust to the city because nothing is familiar to me here.

And that’s why I made this blog, to document my journey into coming from Chisasibi and learning how to live on my own in an unfamiliar place.

Growing up in Chisasibi was a fun experience, I was close with everyone back home. I spent most of my childhood outside; whether it be playing with friends, hunting, fishing and my personal favorite, camping.

The population of Chisasibi is roughly 5000 and the student population here at John Abbott College is nearly double that at approximately 8500 to 9000 students according to google.

There are quite a few differences between Chisasibi and the City, I noticed that almost immediately after I moved here.
