Location	Belfountain, Ontario, Canada
Introduction	I'm a blue-eyed, university-educated, healthy, blonde Canadian who had a fabulous childhood that mostly involved riding horses. So you won't find me complaining that I didn't have opportunities in my life. I've done my best to lead an exciting life that I hope has made and will continue to make a difference, if only in a small way. After years working in the environment sector, as a climate change consultant, writer and editor of Canada's national environmental magazine (Alternatives Journal), I recently switched careers. I now spend my summers running a small adventure company (French River Adventures) at The Lodge at Pine Cove. And during Canada's long, cold winter? You can find me in some warm part of the world -- for the last three years it has been Patagonia -- discovering what I can about nature, travel and sport.
Interests	I started to write a list of my interests, but it was a long and, frankly, boring list. Pretty much everything is interesting if you are a curious person. I'm not as curious as Andy Barrie (ex-MetroMorning host at the CBC), but I'm pretty curious. In particular, I love being involved in sport, travel and nature. Fortunately, I'm often able to combine these passions into a grand adventure. I also love putting pen to paper. With four books to my name and hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles under my belt, I guess it's okay to call myself a writer.
Favorite movies	Shirley Valentine - It's the only movie I own and I try to watch it once a year so that I never forget Nicola Ross.
Favorite music	Way too much to possibly list.
Favorite books	Often the book I'm currently reading is my favourite because there are so many wonderful books that it's a shame to read ones you don't enjoy. Last night, I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and it is one of my favourite books ever. Wish I hadn't finished it.
