MOVINGĀ TO CANADA
All about moving to Toronto, studying at Schulich and exploring the country
In 2019 I moved to Canada to study in the IMBA program at the Schulich School of Business. Relocating has been a journey of many ups and downs that I’ve put together in this section,Ā to offer information, experience, and hope to anyone who is making the decision to move countries.
Read on, for a student’s perspective on life in Canada, working your way into an incredible job and stories from travels and trials in this fair country.

Stumbling Around The World
Hi! Iām Nikita Butalia:)
Let’s Stumble Around The World Together
Welcome to Stumbling Around Delhi! Iām Nikita Butalia and youāre about to join my journey of discovery that began around my home city of New Delhi but ended up around the world. A passion for travel and endless wanderlust led to a massive appetite for travel thatās never satiated since. Hereās to inspiration from sunsets, mountain tops and late night city lights. Happy reading!

Feeling my fascination with snow wear off very quickly. Weāve hardly even been back in Canada for a month and Iām sooo tired of seeing snow outside my window š Also need to wear 5 layers of clothing before leaving home for coffee (which is a 30 second walk from our house)
Used to enjoy walks in the snow but itās too cold and too windy to enjoy the walk (-10 to -18 degrees š„¶). Itās been cold (like COLD) since October and it really feels like forever at this point!
My trip back home feels like such a distant dream BUT it feels weirdly good to be back on campus too š„“š

Really need the world to go back to normal now š¢ For the libraries to allow us to sit there for hours and the ice cream parlours to open again. Meanwhile the one thing that makes me happiest these days is picking up the camera and clicking away in the snow. Whatās the one thing that makes you happy rn?

Nothing prettier than @distilleryto in December šāļø Missing the patio vibe!
Even without this yearās Christmas market, it looks just as wonderful, with its holly, Christmas garlands, warm yellow lights everywhere and massive Christmas tree. š

When I started the blog manyyyy years ago, I studied at Delhi University and usually spent free time at cafĆ©s around town. So I started the blog to talk about my fav desserts, cute reading books & wine bars. The name āStumbling Around Delhiā was rather befitting then.
I started working and taking a ton of short trips, weekend getaways and hill cottage getaways (evidenced in the feed, youāll find it all as you scroll through). So the name Stumbling Around Delhi made sense then too.
Started traveling outside India quite a bit and the name began to feel like a stretch. But it catered to young Indian travellers so it somewhat made sense for anyone who was looking for an Indianās perspective on travel abroad (including travel trips/suggested itineraries etc)
Since moving to Canada, Iām still writing about travel, still from an Indian perspective, but now itās more about moving here, living here and stumbling around Canada more than itās about Stumbling Around Delhi.
Iām so attached to the name of the website, because it somehow captures exactly what Iāve been doing through the years- which makes me reluctant to give it up.
But I also know that resistance to change gets us nowhere. So Iām wondering if itās time to cut the chord and change the name of the blog to something else?
If youāve never visited it before, itās www.stumblingarounddelhi.com ā¤ļø
What do you think- change or no change?
