My story...

I left Vancouver on April 4 2010 to live one year abroad. I arrived in London- spent a week with my cousins, headed over to Ireland to see some more cousins and tour the country, back to London for a day- and arrived in Paris on April 28th, 2010. I found an apartment and started working on May 10th. From May 2010 until February 2011 I lived the Parisian life and took advantage of living in the epicenter of the world by traveling and exploring numerous nearby countries such as: Algeria, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the south of France, Belgium, Morocco, and South Africa.
This blog takes you into the wonderful adventures of my life with stories and pictures galore.
I was due back to Vancouver on April 1, 2011- where I took my position back after my one year leave. I flew back to Vancouver on March 27, 2011. It has been good to be back- I am so blessed as I am surrounded by such great people!!! So good to see friends and family again after 1 year!
Just because I'm back in Vancouver to what was my "normal" life... doesn't mean the adventures and blogging stop here. The adventures will continue I'm sure... so
the only way to stay informed with my random experiences is to come back to this page! So add it to your favourites.

Travelling vocabulary


When travelling to another country...you tend to pick up certain words that 'must' be added to your vocabulary. One of my favorite words to pick up is the word for 'nice' or 'cool'.

In South Africa they use the word: 'Lekka'
use in a sentence: That biltong from the butcher down the street is lleekkkaaaaa.

In Ireland they use the word: 'Class'
use in a sentence: That game of rugby last night was class.

In Peru they use the word: 'Chevre' (ITC here--- must hear the awesome pronunciation)
use in a sentence: Esa playa está muy chevre.

In France they use the word: 'Géniale'
use in a sentence: Le concert hier soir était géniale.

Those are my faves so far... I'm sure with the other countries I'll visit... I'll pick up the 'important' vocabulary.
