I am Margot Phillips, also known as cao quý mùa đông, which means ‘noble winter’ in my Vietnamese class. I am taking Vietnamese because come September, I am going to be living and working for an environmental NGO in Vietnam. Pan Nature is an NGO that works to bring economic prosperity and environmental sustainability to communities in Vietnam that struggle through daily life. These communities lack access to the household amenities that we take for granted, such as primary education, potable water, and public sewage systems. I want to be an international ambassador for Pan Nature by bringing my learning’s from Vietnam back to Canada, through my blog. I hope to inspire Canadians to realize their privileged lifestyles and encourage them to donate some of that privilege to Pan Nature and their efforts for change. In order for my voice to be loud enough to spark change, I need as much support as I can get. I have much to teach, but even more to learn.

I am an adventurer, a wanderer: I am curious.
About Me
- Noble Winter
- Currently I am a student at the University of Waterloo studying International Development in the faculty of Environment. Because of my fiendish behaviour towards snow, and my affinity for strapping a board on my feet and letting gravity guide me down steep pitches, i always believed I would find my way out West for a university experience with as much school work as snowboarding. I ended up at Waterloo, however, because of the unique International Development program that specializes in sustainability. This program will also take me to Vietnam in September for an internship with a small environmental NGO. If a university program can deter me from winters spent in the Rockies, i must be here for a reason!
