Around Every Corner

Why do I travel? My parents emigrated to Canada when I was three months old and I have been hooked ever since. We sailed in luxury on the Empress of France, waited on hand and foot. Which is probably why I’ve never taken to camping.

I’m also very curious. I want to see around every corner, speak to strangers in the street, experience new cultures and cuisines. And taste the coffee.

Just walking a different street at home can reveal something or someone exceptional.

My battered Canon Rebel and aging laptop rarely leave my side, my trusty companions recording my travels. When I remember to charge them up. Not to forget my human compass and husband, without whom, I’d probably never get there, wherever ‘there’ is!

Some facts. I’m a British/Canadian and have lived in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Canada. I am passionate about my ‘home town’ Vancouver, British Columbia and love to write about it.

Paris is my ‘wish I lived there’ city. I visit several times a year in the hope that some of their chic-ness will rub off. I haven’t quite mastered the language yet, but contrary to what is often thought about them, Parisians are very forgiving and helpful.

I love my adopted Cornwall, where I write my articles sounded by crashing waves and the pervading smell of pasties.
