Of course, you never want things to go terribly wrong, but it does make for great stories when disaster strikes. Driving almost eight thousand miles in a 21 year old Subaru Outback, up and across some of the most desolate roads in the world, disasters were certainly a possibility, but I made it up and back in one piece.

After moving to Canada in 2003, Carolyn began scouting out Toronto's neighborhoods, taking in theater festivals at Stratford and Niagara-on-the-Lake, and discovering Ontario’s outdoors – from the rocky shores of Bruce Peninsula to the pink cliffs of Killarney and the lakes and trails in Algonquin Provincial Park.
