about
written by Denise
I love to travel but have a day job, so my travel is intermittent.
This blogs recaps my journeys over the past four years. Every time a take a trip, I write.
In the real world I work in Sales and Marketing and reside in Huntersville, North Carolina. I’m a Canadian citizen and was born and raised in Sarnia, Ontario.
I’m not sure when my next trip will be. After trotting around the globe for 3 months on a sabbatical in the fall of 2009, I’m kind of chained to my desk for a bit. But that’s okay, because I enjoy my job.
I do know that travel must be a part of my life, so the stories will continue. At this point, I’m just not sure when.

Clearly I'm not into the Twitter thing judging by how often I update my status.
