So yes I’m a foodie and food is one of the most important things for me to seek out and explore when travelling. I worked with all levels of government to support women in the food business and rural producers as well as assisting with food tourism ventures in the Province. I developed products with the indigenous community of Ontario, worked with a kosher manufacturer in Toronto and developed new products for a pate and dip manufacturer. My company launched the flavoured wrap back in the early 2000s and from there I went on to help develop products such as bean soup mixes, ancient grain salads, dips and sauces with a focus on locally and Canadian-grown ingredients. I was involved in the food business for many years in Canada. In short, I provide content geared for mature (that can be debatable sometimes), active (well given the ageing factor), and curious travellers. I also contribute practical information and resources to promote an easy-going travel lifestyle. Not only does this appeal to us older folks, but we are finding that many GenX and millennials are fascinated by the potential to explore the world and not camp or backpack.

In fact, Big Ben was chiming as usual all through the bombing and the rebuilding of the Commons Chamber. Luckily, though, Big Ben and its clock tower were undamaged. In May 1941, the Commons Chamber at Westminster was destroyed by incendiary bombs. For example, when I travel I like to know the “how of it”. Despite the clock being darkened, enemy planes found the Houses of Parliament. It also drives me nuts when I read other travel articles and they don’t provide me with the information that I find useful. I like to keep my readers informed about issues of access and mobility for those that have walking concerns or hidden disabilities that leave you fatigued and hopefully inspire you to head out on that longed-for journey.
