Seeing the world was something Tess Richey had always dreamed about and she was determined to make it happen one day.
At 22 years old, she was the youngest of five daughters from North Bay, Ontario.
At 19, she moved to Toronto and after completing a flight attendant course at college, she started applying for jobs at different airlines.
In the meantime, she juggled several jobs, including one at a coffee bar.
Fuelled by her desire to travel, she also started studying Italian, hoping to land an au pair role in Italy.
At 5ft 2in, Tess was petite, but she was determined.
On 24 November 2017, Tess spent the afternoon with her sister Rachel, who lived in Toronto.
