The Calgary Stampede was cancelled this year due to covid-19 so I unearthed footage from the last time I went to the Stampede and edited it into a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X-t2XBDqSA
Oh, Canada
For those of you who are unaware, today is Canada Day. Some of my best memories have been on this date, including camping with family, my first time going up the Calgary Tower as a kid, getting to choose a new book at the bookstore, seeing fireworks with my first boyfriend, exploring celebrations downtown with … Continue reading Oh, Canada
Lake Minnewanka
As I worked on the pitch for my web series, I realized that even though I'd put my novel writing on hold, I didn't want to give up the story entirely. It wasn't going to be as easy to pick my novel back up as it was to put down. A story has peaks and … Continue reading Lake Minnewanka
An Edmonton Overnighter
I recently got my first booking through my agent since signing with her a year and a half ago. I've gotten a few callbacks before, and I've been booking roles that haven't been through my agent, but this was the first proper booking, so that was exciting. On top of that, it was in Edmonton. … Continue reading An Edmonton Overnighter
A Day in Kananaskis
I've gotta say, filming vlogs every day for my month in Vietnam last summer was one of the best things I could have done in order to learn vlogging and figure out my new camera. On Saturday my dad and I went to Kananaskis for a little day trip. My camera skills have improved greatly … Continue reading A Day in Kananaskis
The End of Summer
If you were expecting daily blog posts from Vietnam like I usually do for my trips, I'm sorry to disappoint. This trip I decided I'd film vlogs instead, and now my arms are muscly from holding up cameras all month. At first I thought I'd be able to blog as well, but found at the … Continue reading The End of Summer
From an Airport
I stopped writing for a while. Half because I got busy, half because, I don't know. I stopped feeling like a writer. I'm in an airport as I write this, but won't be anymore when you read it. I'm on my way to Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam, where I will rendezvous with my … Continue reading From an Airport
Montreal Day 6: Botanical Garden
Told you these would be all out of order. I went to the Botanical Garden on Sunday, which I soon realized after arriving was a mistake because the line to get in was insanely long and by the time I reached the front, the garden would've closed. So instead of waiting in that crazy long … Continue reading Montreal Day 6: Botanical Garden
Montreal Day 5: Biosphere
I went back to that bagel place from Day 1. This time I came later, around lunchtime, and while they were still busy, there wasn't a line and I was seated right away. I got pretty much the same thing, except with a salad this time. I think it was the crab salad, although I … Continue reading Montreal Day 5: Biosphere
Montreal Day 4: Patisserie and History
Day 4 started, as is becoming a pattern, with food. I went to a cute patisserie called Maison Christian Faure and got their "Lunch Royal" which included a coffee or tea, the plat du jour, and a pastry. It was delicious, although a few of my table neighbours went for the salmon and I kind … Continue reading Montreal Day 4: Patisserie and History
