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.

The Republic of South Africa

Okay... i know that my blog updates have been so sporadic lately. I do apologize for that. The main and valid excuse is that I have had limited internet access.

To summarize:

From November 9th to November 16th my friend Noriko and I travelled to the South of Spain. We visited the most amazing towns ... Seville, Granada (The Alhambra), and Barcelona. I have many pictures and stories which will eventually be posted.

From mid November to the 27th I focused on selling furniture and taking down my life in my little town called Clamart. I moved out on the 27th. It was an experience as well... will write about it!

In the beginning of December I had a good friend of mine, John, come to visit me in Paris. It was soooo nice having him and for me to show off the lil nooks and crannies I have come to love and adore about Paris.

On the 12th of December I got on a 2 deck Air France airbus on route for South Africa. It is amazing.... I have been in SA since the 13th and my experience has been absolutely incredible. It is hard to find the words to express the love and generosity that the people here have... it is beaming out of their pores. I have many posts, many pictures, many stories to share but because internet access is limited, I will have to save it for when I get back. I am typing them as I go...but posting online is another story.

I will have lots of catching up to do...but thanks for checking in none the less. Wishing you all the best holiday season with your friends, family, and people you love the most. I will think of you as I swim in pools in 38 degree weather... working on my African tan.

Will be in touch soon! xx
