✨ About me: ✨
Hi, I’m Zoe! (Pronounced like Zoey) I’m a 26 year old from Montreal making videos about my REAL life. After quitting my management consulting "dream job", then being laid off from a startup job, I decided to take a chance and work for myself. I'm now mainly focused on YouTube (my absolute passion) and side-hustle contracts in the copywriting and admin fields.

My videos centre around work, gentle productivity, mental health & personal wellness, with a touch of fashion, tech, and whatever else I'm living. My goal is to be open & honest ALWAYS and for my channel to be a fun, inspiring place where we can set goals and live our best lives together. I would love for you to subscribe 💝

I live in the Northeast part of the U.S. and have travelled into Montreal several times over the years - great city - it was so fun and nostalgic to see your footage

Hi Zoe! I’m a Québécoise living in Montreal as well and I really enjoy your vlogs! I appreciate in this one how you address the French language situation in Quebec. I know for most people it’s harder to learn French than it is to simply speak English and some people have zero interest in learning French, but I am really happy when anglophones speak (or at least make an effort to speak) French 😊❤

Yes please! More Montreal specific content. Maybe dog friendly places where you can bring Maggie or just favourite brunch places 🙂

Can you please do a day where you do your top 10. That way if we only had one day you basically planned it for us. It gives us a realistic idea of a balanced tourists day

I love it! I can't wait to move to Montréal, I want to see more about the night life like bars.

I LOVE Montreal and I LOVE KOTN - I'd say 80% of my wardrobe is their clothing. So exciting to see this sponsorship!!

Montreal looks so beautiful Zoe! I'd love to visit one day for sure. I definitely want to see more Montreal vlogs, the spot with the lake was stunning aaahh 😍 I'd love to see more cafés, restaurants, nature & thrift stores 🙈

I’m moving to MTL in a couple of months and loved this vlog!! I was born there and lived there till was 8 but that was so long ago that it’s pretty much a new city to me.

[sienaramsey]

I loved this video! I'm moving to MTL in September from London and this has made me even more excited to discover the city and all its hidden gems 🤩

[mommyfamily]

Really love this kind of life, beautiful vlog, life full of happiness

[Maxine]

Such a beautiful city, Zoe! I love how productive your day is. No wonder why my life coach Lisa Haisha who is also a content creator told me to watch your vlogs. You both have similar mindset. Looking forward to watching more of your vlogs.
