About the author
For the first week of my life, I had no name. Doctors and family referred to me as “baby girl”, a term of endearment which has not been used in reference to me since. later, I am mostly referred to as “Chanel”, the name my parents eventually settled on. (I also have three—yes, three—middle names, of which I rarely speak of and almost never share.)
These days, I am student, entrepreneur, writer and photographer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. I am Canadian by birth, half Fijian, quarter French, quarter British by blood and a closeted American at heart. So far, I have been mistaken for Spanish, Persian, Native, Hawaiian, East Indian, European, and Valley girl.
Things you should know: I’m terrified of fish, butterflies and Abercrombie models. Also, I’ve been to three continents and six countries but if you gave me a free ticket anywhere I’d probably take it straight to Disneyland.
When I’m not working, I’m probably doing one of these things (but not more than one at once, because I can’t multitask to save my life): cooking or baking, cleaning up the mess I made cooking and baking, taking photos, playing piano, eating, sleeping, pretending to design websites, spending time with my family, or dancing. I really like dancing.
I love to hear from people, especially ones that read my blog: hello@chanelwood.com
