Hi I’m Suze, I’m so glad you are here and I hope that you enjoy this new journey I am embarking on – my tales of travel, my travel blog. Have I mentioned I LOVE to travel? Well, if I haven’t or you have missed it – I LOVE TO TRAVEL!!
I was very lucky when I was a working stiff to have travel paid for. Yes, it was all in my home country of Canada. Yes, I did have to work where ever I went. But Canada, like everywhere else in the world is an awesome place to discover and explore.
I did most of my discovering on my own when I traveled for work. I’m in my fabulous 50’s now and have been retired for almost three years! Do I love it? You bet! Do I miss work? Not a chance!! Oh, just a minute, this, what I am doing right now, is work. Well, that’s what I tell people anyway.
I used to be a conference planner – now I work hard at planning travel.
I used to research hotels for my clients – now I research hotels for me.
I used to book airplanes and set up manifests for people to fly to remote locations as a group – now I hop on that plane alone or with a loved one or a friend and take off without the worry of taking attendance!
I used to search out the best hotels for large groups of travelers – now it’s usually just me and or my small group.
I used to choose food for hundreds – now I get to eat all those crazy and exotic foods that I would NEVER have served to a large group.
I used to sneak out whenever I had a moment to see whatever sights I could on my short visits – now I get to see all those and the ones I stuck on my list that I missed due to time constraints.
I have so many wonderful memories of being a Conference and Event Planner – what a great life we (they) lead and what discipline and organizational skills they possess!!! Being a professional planner taught me a lot and I’m happy to say that I know some of the best people in the world because of that chosen profession. But, now I have an even better career, an even better life and I get to keep adding to that amazing circle of friends with more of the best people from around the world.
