When I lived in London England, I thought life back in Vancouver was boring. No big city lights, 24/7 action or history that is recognized around the world. Sure London life was amazing, but now that I’m back living on Canadian soil, I can’t help but stick my tongue out at my former self. On [...]
Over the last couple of months I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the storytelling circuit in Vancouver. Writing is one thing, reading or hosting is another, but storytelling? YES! It’s real. It’s entertainment. And it gets me out of an early bedtime watching an entire season of Weeds or The Golden Girls. For December [...]

I acknowledge it’s not just in Vancouver that the dating scene can be a singleton’s nightmare. There is always a scenario or situation that can lead people down the path of, [...]
When I first left Vancouver to see a bit of the world, I hoped to define and embrace other cultures. I didn’t really know what culture was, but I figured there was more of it in other countries. In explaining my intended purpose to travel to some of my friends at the time, they didn’t [...]

Little did I know how much the Best Travel Job Ever would take over my life! Leading up to the semi-finalists announcement I kept busy by learning about social networking and making videos. Lucky for [...]
Today is one of those days that I’ve sat and hhmmmmmmm’d….wondering why THAT happened. THAT happens to everybody, but why me? I’m a kind attractive person, so why are there still people on this earth that seem to get off on saying cruel things? Ok ok – here’s the background. I went on a date. [...]
Since shedding a few excess pounds and embracing life as a cyclist in Vancouver, I have kept my eyes open for races to enter. There’s something about a sporting event to challenge ones own physical abilities that has always inspired me. I’ve not yet claimed a gold medal or a certificate of completion, but I’ve [...]
The race for the most votes in the Best Travel Job Ever has stepped up a few notches with some amazing entries. I’ve moved into 3rd place with Jason still at my heels, but I’m hoping to hang on till the end with a medal finish. Â It’s amazing how this competition has taken over [...]
