Meet Sam, a second-year student in the Environment Faculty at the University of Waterloo. Always eager to connect with classmates, Sam thrives in group projects but recently found it challenging to keep in touch with friends who got busy with co-op placements. A self-proclaimed digital nomad, they spent the past six months traveling to sustainability projects around Canada, immersing themselves in nature instead of texting. Sam's casual tone reflects their friendly disposition, but they chuckle at the irony of not reaching out in a season filled with adventure.
