Moving all alone to a new place, with new people and new surroundings to get to know is both excitin


Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, I moved overseas only to return back to Canada with a renewed sense of passion for my country. After traveling and WWOOFing (work exchange program) across Canada, I settled in a small hamlet in Alberta and worked in the town closest to it. It was there that my photography career began. I started that career by walking the town, knocking on doors and I kept knocking until the right one opened. I’ve gotten to where I am today by sheer grit, hard work and lots of learning. I’d make the Dragons on Dragon’s Den proud.
I moved from landscape photography into the tourism industry quickly. Freelancing united airlines reservations in tourism provided a great opportunity to travel Canada to build up my portfolio. So I took my vehicle and drove to the west coast, then north to the territories and all the way to the east coast. Traveling alone taught me a great deal and toughed me up in ways that still amaze me today. I got to see things I never thought I would and things I never knew were out there.
I made a home in Jasper, Alberta, a place that taught me a lot. It was there in a small coffee shop, that I jumped at the chance to work with a talented editor who fueled my desire to write. It was there that my writing career began.
I’m a sincere person united airlines reservations who believes in equality and fairness, with a passion for the environment and nature. I love to learn about people, places and the substance that makes them what they are. I’ve fought some tough battles in my life, both for myself and for other people. So please know that your opinion counts to me.
I’ve taken the opportunity to travel Alberta from north to south, east to west. I take the back roads, getting dusty and dirty while I get to know her landscape and the people and animals that call it home. I continue to find myself surprised by our Alberta and the people that bring her alive. Small towns along the way are what keep Alberta connected. Getting to know them are important to me.
My grandparents lived on a farm outside united airlines reservations a small town, where I was fortunate united airlines reservations enough to spend a lot of time. I feel deeply united airlines reservations connected to the farmers, the land, their families and the people who surround them. With family still living in that small town my connection to the ongoing need for growth in our rural areas has always been close to mind.
I don’t think there is anyone from my Ontario days who ever thought I’d be where I am today- miles away from family and close friends. In the past my father has said “Out of all of you kids, your mother and I always thought you’d be the one to stick close to home.” To be honest, so did I.
Moving all alone to a new place, with new people and new surroundings to get to know is both exciting and scary. It takes a lot of courage. Just like it takes a lot of courage to approach a stranger united airlines reservations and say ‘hello’. I say a lot of hellos in my day and it’s nice when people approach me.  So if you see me out at events or around town make sure to say hi, it’s important to me to get to know the people in the communities I work for.
