food, photography and my creative life
Back in November, I decided to knock an item off my bucket list – storm watching in Tofino, on the west coast of BC’s Vancouver Island. I needed a vacation badly. My last “real” vacation (you know, the kind where you are away from all work related things for more than 2 days in a row?) happened before I quit my full time job back at
The Montreal Steamie – a Montreal classic that few outside of Montreal know about. But it ranks right up there with poutine, bagels and smoked meat as iconic Montreal food. Over the last 15 months I’ve made five trips to Montreal – all in the name of planning a conference. The fact that eating took up a huge part of those trips was all good
