My story

 

So where does this love of travel come from? Could it be from the very beginning when my mother took me at the age of three months on my first plane ride to London, England
to meet her family.

Was it from pouring over family albums as a kid, growing up in Barrie, Ontario, showing exciting places my parents and maternal grandfather visited?

 

My parents met and married in Northern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) before immigrating to  Canada. A kids’ imagination is definitelysparked when told stories of my mother’s pet monkey or how my dad had to drive 100 miles and in the desert for a date.

 

Or was it the excitement whenever a family member visited from England and we would go dressed in our Sunday best to pick them up from the airport?

Whatever the origins for my love of travel it has been the one constant in my life - marriages end, kids grow up but the excitement of hitting the road and discovering new places and
meeting new people never stops.
