My expat journey
Toronto, Canada
I'm an independent saleswoman for LegalShield. I'm also freelancing in Graphic Design, Photography and creating wedding invitations, and I design and create homemade greeting cards.
I love the multicultural diversity of this city! The food and products you get here, are stuff you can find all over the world. Imported by the people who moved and now live here.
We really need to improve our transit system. SMH. No major changes or improvement since I first moved here in 1990. Well, except for that silly 5 stop train from Sheppard to Fairview Mall. Yeah, that's not a major change, just a major cost to the city. We need the system that Taipei has.
Taipei, Taiwan
Made a lot of greeting cards. Travelled some more. Experienced a Taiwanese wedding.
Some tutoring.
I love the transit system in Taipei and the affordability and ease of travelling across the whole country. LOVE IT!!!
A ton of rain in Keelung and Taipei in the winter time.
Toronto, Canada
Photo Editor, Freelance photographer and wedding invitations & greeting cards designer.
My great friends and family here. Great shopping, sight seeing. I love heading up North in the summer time!
The extreme heat and the extreme cold weather. May not be extreme to some people, but it is to me.
Taipei, Taiwan
I moved to Taiwan in January, 2010.
- very friendly people
- the tropical weather
- Always somewhere great to go walking and sight seeing. This place has endless beauty.
- All I can say now would be the typhoons.
- Well, I kinda got one, but it's not soo bad. Being as it was just Chinese New Year, well three weekends ago, people are still lighting off firecrackers in the late mornings...STILL!
- Every single BBQ street vendor sells chicken guts and butts, but it's hard to find one who sells the meat. :o(
- No central heating in the homes, but that's not terrible, just uncomfortable in the mild winter time.
Ontario, Canada
- Best part of my life here: my niece and nephew, Tyanna and Nathaniel.
- I produced my own website
- I do wedding photography and wedding invitations
- I also design greeting cards in my spare time
- I took Desktop Publishing and Photography at George Brown College
- Worked resizing images and logos for TV Guide Canada
- Worked as Technical Design/Prepress at Transcontinental Media
- Worked at Top Copy Photographic Inc.
- Worked as a CSR for TV Guide Canada
- Worked as a Graphic Artist at Decal Craft (a screen printing shop)
- Great friends and coworkers.
- Great cultural diversity of people and food
The cold summer nights, the freezing eye watering winters.
San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago
I photographed two weddings there on return trips for friends' weddings, and I did wedding invitations for a couple who live there.
- Most of my family are still there, so I have a great reason to visit often.
- I love the weather, the tropical plants, the beautiful beaches, the stylish houses.
Hmmm, I don't know.
