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.

Vitamin D


What an important one for all of us. It was a lovely sunny weekend here in Paris, I took advantage on Saturday afternoon and went for hunt. Jam goes with cheese like sun goes with beach; therefore- incredibly. Another thing us Vancouverites take for granted is living next to an ocean (or large body of water) and various fresh water lakes and rivers. I am really going to miss going to Spanish Banks with my family for late afternoon bbq's or going swimming in Cultus Lake with Dawn and Chelsea and co., or tubing down the Cowichan River with John and co., or swimming in the Nanaimo River with Nicole and co…. summer in BC is just inexplicable (an ITC). Anyways… I was dying to dip my feet in some cold fresh water and lay on the sand and relax. So… the next best thing that goes with cheese is avocado- this I had (metaphorically speaking). As the next best thing that goes with sun is a nice big piece of green grass to sprawl out on. This I found, and this is what I did.


Hooray for sunny weekends and my Vitamin D fix!

  1. I did the same thing in Vienna. On Sundays, when everything was closed, I would take a towel, a book, and a snack and wander to the nearby park and sunbathe in my two-piece while reading. Fantastic. It was a big park, so it was quite peaceful as well.

    Enjoy the sunshine and the vitamin D! It'll keep your mood up while you get use to the big city life :)
