A few months earlier, I locked in a 6-day, 5-night budget camping safari. People told me 6 days would be too long for a safari, but they underestimated my enthusiasm for animals. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. I was just as excited to see my first giraffe as my 20th. The safari I booked took me to the four […]

After a covid-y cock up where I moved to Edinburgh, back to the fam-jam in Canada, to England, and then back to Amsterdam – I am currently living in the EXACT room where I stayed 5 years ago (good thing I don’t compare myself to other people or I would be so embarrassed right now).

I am the genius who travelled to India for almost a month knowing I really don’t like Indian food. Now, you would think if I don’t like the food, I would eat less and therefore lose weight. This was not so. Since I disliked it so much, I was averaging about 6 Kit Kat bars a

I don’t do sit-ups, I do sit- downs and I stay down for 2-3 episodes. Exercise to me is crunching (leaning forward) to get my cup of tea. Or arm extensions (opening the fridge). So you can understand my frustration when I am forced to squat especially after I pay 25 cents. I am talking
Have you ever had it where you’ve downed enough liquid to fill the Indian Ocean and you rush to the toilet, only to be halted by a decision. Two options. One that will lead to relief, the other, to relief then mortification because at that point you probably already wet your pants. Washroom signs- am
