Rahaf Mohammed tasted a slice of her new life in Canada by trying bacon for the first time, downing a Starbucks coffee and showing her bare legs.
The Saudi teen who was fleeing her abusive family was granted asylum last week following a desperate bid to escape the oppressive life that was ahead of her.
Mohammed, 18, claimed she feared for her life.
She tried bacon for the first time! SNAPCHAT
But now, all that's changed.
The feisty teen took to Snapchat to show vignettes of her new life.
One was a photo of her bacon and egg breakfast — "omg bacon" — festooned with a Canadian flag emoji, the other a cup of Starbucks coffee sitting on her bare legs.
Purchased winter clothes! SNAPCHAT
She also shared a picture of her morning coffee from Starbucks, with her knee-length grey wool dress that shows off her bare legs.
Mohammed arrived in Toronto last weekend and is getting acclimatized to life in the Great White North, buying winter clothes, getting a health card, accommodation and sorting out phone service.
Bared her legs at Starbucks. SNAPCHAT
More ominously, she has a bodyguard following threats to her safety.
Costi Immigrant Services executive director Mario Calla said the courageous teen has received multiple threats online.
"She sees these threats. She has left Islam and she basically has broken away from her family, and that scares her," Costi said.
Next stop? Learning English.
And tweeted her gratitude. TWITTER
