About Me

My photo
Canadian Linda
I’m a Canadian that grew up in Ottawa. I was educated in Cambridge, England. Ahem, I have to give full disclosure on that statement…. I lived in Cambridge for 1 year when I was 7 years old, so technically, I have been to school in Cambridge, but am not a graduate, or even a pupil, of the prestigious Cambridge University. I have lived and worked in Sarnia, Calgary and Edmonton, all in Canada. In my early 40’s I moved to Houston, Texas, US where John was based professionally. From there we were privileged to live 2 fabulous years in Perth, Western Australia. That was followed by another 2 years back in Calgary, then another two years back in Houston. Another highlight of my life was when we lived in London, England for 2 years. My husband and I are now both retired and are traveling the world. No specific destinations or plans, just wandering aimlessly. This blog serves as a journal of our travels that I hope will be treasured in years to come. Right now, I have a love-hate relationship with it because it is so time consuming. I am happy to share our experiences and welcome your comments as it keeps us connected and makes the world a smaller place.
