Quarantine means I can’t go anywhere until Frida Quarantine means I can’t go anywhere until Friday, but at least there are welcome cookies — or as they say here: biscuits — from the 🇬🇧’s aunty and uncle, and pretty sunsets to enjoy with my love — swipe to see our solarium sunset view! (And M’s seedlings — can’t wait for tomatoes and peppers!)
Once upon a time, we rang in 2020 in San Diego and Once upon a time, we rang in 2020 in San Diego and @dtallenvet took this photo on January 1. Two months later, the world shut down. A year and a bit, a big decision, three months apart, and a visa application later, we’ve moved to England — I’m so grateful. ❤️ Is the process of moving abroad of interest to you (for when things get a little more “normal”)? In my UK visa journey, something that really stood out was the lack of resources to supplement the government-provided information. I’m considering a blog or video series about it and would love to know what information would be helpful to you. Let me know in the comments!
It’s Mother’s Day in 🇨🇦 and I can’t wa It’s Mother’s Day in 🇨🇦 and I can’t wait to Skype with my beautiful maman! I’m so grateful I got to actually hug her before I left the country. (And that she finally knows how to use Skype.) Je t’aime beaucoup! 🥰 If this is a mixed emotion day for you, sending you a big virtual hug. ❤️ 📸 circa April 2018
🚘 Of all the things I’m proud of in my life 🚘 Of all the things I’m proud of in my life so far, learning to drive is very close to the top of the list. I've talked about it before, but I didn't actually get my green N magnet or properly start learning to drive until I was 30. Part of this is because driving used to terrify me. Something that helped me gain my confidence as a driver after I got that N was to get a membership with @modo_carcoop. At the time, they were the only carshare company in the Lower Mainland that accepted N drivers, and it was an economical way for me to practice my road skills. Living in the Metro Vancouver area, I didn't really need to drive that much, though. When we moved to Victoria, the transit system was a bit limiting — and I had no desire to drive the 🇬🇧's car. So I finally decided to get rid of my N, reactivated my Modo membership, and became an ambassador. I practiced for and passed my road test — and somewhere along the way started to actually LIKE driving.  In the last year and a bit, driving really helped me keep my **** together. It was a way to get out of the house, run errands, de-stress, and feel like I was in control. (And now that I'm in England, I need to learn to drive on the left... eek! But I'm up for it! 🙌) As a Modo ambassador, I've earned credit in kind for content I create and post, but I left Canada not having the chance to use it all up. Modo is a very community-minded organization, so I'm very happy to have been able to donate my driving credits to the @intrepidtheatre and @shelbournecommunitykitchen in Victoria.  Victoria, Nanaimo, and Metro Vancouver friends, if you're curious about becoming a Modo member, pop me a DM with any questions. You can also get a $50 credit to your first Modo invoice with my code MODCITYGIRL. Thank you @modo_carcoop for helping me love to drive! I will miss you and my favourite hybrids.  📸 @jjosuephotos #westcoastcitygirl #whymodo #modoeverywhere #ambassador #drivingdiaries #hybridvehicle #nexo #ipreview via @preview.app

Dear Vancouver: I’ll always be a #WestCoastCityG Dear Vancouver: I’ll always be a #WestCoastCityGirl. Thank you for being my home since the day I was born, for your postcard scenery, and for introducing me to my Englishman almost six years ago. We will come back soon to visit. If I add more words to this caption, I’ll cry, so that’s all for now. Stay safe. xoxo
