What am I doing now? You’ll have to wait and see, but I can tell you what I have done.
I have travelled to over 100 countries and lived in five. I used to work in finance but switched things up midlife to write, hike and, most recently, to study yoga.
I kicked off 2024 by completing a 200-hour yoga teacher training course in the home of Yoga: Rishikesh, India. In 2023, my husband and I undertook a high-altitude trek covering over 2,100 kilometres. We traversed across Nepal and part of India’s Himalaya, crossing more than twenty-five passes above 5,000 metres. In early 2023, I published my first fiction novel, The Man in the Barretina Hat while in 2016 and 2017, I published two non-fiction travel books, Searching for Unique and Dust in My Pack.
Prior to these more creative and physical pursuits, my professional career took me around the globe. Beyond my home country of Canada, I lived and worked abroad in Australia, Oman, Switzerland and Nigeria as well as a couple of temporary projects that took me to Qatar and Ecuador. I earned an Executive MBA with distinction at Bayes Business School in London, UK and held a Chartered Professional Accountant designation - of which I voluntarily terminated after nearly twenty years in the profession.
My language studies include French, Spanish, Arabic and Japanese, although sadly I have not mastered any of them. In order to change this dismal trend, I have added language practice to my daily regime.
My husband's photography exposes remarkable landscapes and intriguing cultures captured in my stories.
