Accommodating us was The Prince George Hotel, a centrally located spot with lots of amenities. Mentioning the space to any local was typically met with lit eyes and excitement, for they […]

I’ve been on the move lately – that’s no secret. And while I adore the commentary about people saying that my life as a “global citizen” / “International Woman of Mystery” / “globe trotter” / “GLOBIA” (nickname, long story), it comes with its challenges.
