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 lone traveler

When traveling, you rely a lot on the advice of others.

When I get back to Canada- I plan on writing a review for every hostel I stayed at as I am forever grateful for the reviews they have provided me.

I LOVE the websites www.hostelworld.com and www.hostelbookers.com and www.tripadvisor.com. I am telling you- people don't lie- what the reviews say about the accomodation is what you can expect! I love it!!!!

When arriving into a new city- mapless most of the time- all you want to know what to do is get from point A (train station or airport) to point B (hostel/lodging). Hostel bookers send you a friendly email confirmation and directions from all modes of transport. It's fabulous. I swear by them.

I am so grateful that I feel it is my duty to give my 2cents too. So I plan on it :) I suggest you use them too and post for other travelers as they are so useful for Nomads like myself.
