Um... Bulgaria is an interesting country. The people are lovely. There are potholes the size of small planets.

So far, Vancouver is my favorite relocation city. It feels like home. Parts of it remind me of the east coast. It's very clean. The food is great. And the people are lovely. Not that I didn't love working in other glamorous locations like Downey, Detroit, Cleveland or Bulgaria... but, damn, it is fun to be Canadian.

There are strong opportunities to be found in both Bulgaria and Croatia. You get twice the size of the house and the same sun for the same money as in Spain.

As a small country, both in size and population, our future hinges on the quality of our people.

I'm not one of those people that wears something once and tosses it aside. I wear my shoes until they beg to be thrown away. Parting is such sweet sorrow - and then it's onto the next pair.

It's a confidence booster for me to be known as a female who can take on any action, which is nice, to have that reputation, because then people know that when they hire me, I can actually do the physical stuff.
