A Life Like No Other

Life Unexpected If someone would have told me five months ago after graduating from University with a degree in History that I would be living I an isolated community working three different jobs and having to worry about running into a Polar Bear while walking down the street, I probably would have laughed. However it is not as uncommon as most people would think living where I do for over the years thousands of people have called Churchill home- some for a brief time, some forever. Churchill maybe one of the biggest little towns in the country and certainly is one of the most fascinating and I couldn’t be happier to be able to call this amazing place home. So just where is home? For those who have never been to Churchill nor have they heard of it would think I was nuts.

I for one had to realize this myself considering my first solo traveling adventure was not in my own backyard of Canada but rather in Europe. However, as much as I appreciated going to Europe I was very excited when the opportunity came for me to finally explore a bit of my country.

Every chance my mother had she was taking us outside; whether it was to simply going on a nature walk, going camping, or going for a swim to one of the many lakes that surrounded us we were always outside. When I think back to all the time I was able to spend outdoors as a child as well as all the travelling we did it has made me realize that this is why I love doing what I am currently doing.
