How I Scored My First Sponsored Trip Travel Blogging, and How You Can Too! | Travel tip

Getting sponsored trips as a travel blogger can seem like a foggy and convoluted business, like it is some mythical beast that is unattainable. I am going to show you that, while difficult, you CAN lasso yourself a Pegasus, if you look hard enough and in the right places, and ride that baby to some free trips!   1) Don’t sit idly by twiddling your blogging thumbs! Hoping something is going to land in your lap won’t get you a sponsored post, or really anything for that matter. Be proactive....

A year after the accident

Today is the anniversary of my ski accident. It has been an incredible adventure, but I am so glad it is over! Few days ago I had a flash back of the whole year fighting with my injury at physio and hospitals when I met a woman who just had a similar leg injury in similar circumstances skiing. I felt for her because I knew what she felt and what she has ahead of her. At the same time I felt like I am finally at the finishing line of the marathon and very soon my physiotherapy will be over and I...

Patricia Carrier: Another Exotic Fruit

This fruit has its special status. I've been avoiding talking about it for the longest time, because I didn't know how to approach it. It's main characteristic is a very specific smell that stinks! Wikipedia explains it as the smell that  evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks. The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia. But...

In anticipation to get back to skiing

Here I am at Physiotherapy. I am happy now that I am getting trained to go back to skiing. Who would believe that 7 months later after sitting on my couch with a bloodclot, two torn ligaments, damaged femur, sprained shoulder and not even being able to walk I would be training to go back to skiing!? I am so thankful for the people who created this skiing device! After all the exercising physiotherapists tight me down to the bed post to keep my leg bend to the max to stretch my scaring tissue....

How to Clean Out Your Garage - Spring-Cleaning Tips - Peter Walsh

"This is the 'Oh my God, are you kidding me?' pile," says Peter Walsh, a teensy hint of exasperation flashing across his face. The usually unflappable Australian is standing with Allison and Kay Johnson in their family's Woodland Hills, California, driveway, the contents of their garage all around him. A quick scan reveals rusty weights, Entourage DVDs, two stained-glass chandeliers, beat-up cardboard boxes full of dirty gardening tools, a red Snoopy suitcase, baseball bats, pet carriers, a...

Sir Philip Green warns up to 260 shops in his fashion empire could shut

Sir Philip Green (Pic: DM) THE High Street was rocked last night after Sir Philip Green's leading fashion empire warned it may have to shut 260 struggling stores.

He revealed his smaller branches were suffering as shoppers rein in their spending. And he said unless he could get a better...

Patricia Carrier: Another exotic tropical fruit

Persimmon - just looking at this picture of persimmon I am almost drooling because I know how sweet and delicious it tastes. In wikipedia they describe it this way (and it really says it all):The Date-plum (Diospyros lotus) is native to southwest Asia and southeast Europe. It was known to the ancient Greeks as "the fruit of the gods", or often referred to as "nature's candy" i.e. Dios pyros (lit. "the wheat of Zeus"), hence the scientific name of the genus. ItsEnglish name probably derives...

My Thoughts on 45 Most Powerful Images of 2011

As these 45 most powerful images of 2011 came out they really made a great impact on me. These images once more reminded me of how quickly one's life can change. We take everything that we own for granted, even when we are trying to be as conscious as we possible can. I can relate to that because this year when I had my ski accident in a matter of second I had to face that I might not be walking again. And even then I realized that it could be much worse, especially when I compare my situation...

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF CIVIL RIGHTS/STAX/SUN We started the second day with a visit to the National Civil Rights Museum, located on the site of the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. The museum is an extraordinary interactive experience that tells the full story of the civil rights struggle in America. There is a huge wheel of chance you can spin that features all of the spurious reasons that African Americans were turned away by Mississippi officials when trying to register to...

Patricia Carrier: My ski accident

On January 28, 2011 at approximately 2pm at the Mount Cascade ski in Québec (Canada), I was skiing with my daughter school parent. It was an annual event for the Turnbull School that my daughter goes to since the first grade (they have three scheduled ski day every winter). It was a wonderful day with perfect ski conditions. We were enjoying ourselves and it was one of our last descends. I was around twenty feet from the ski lift, where my ski buddies were already waiting for me to line up to...

126-step challenge after my ski accident

This is one of the parks in Ile D`Orléans and because of my ski accident I really wanted to give myself a challenge of going up that observatory, which was 126 steps to go up. But in my excitement I didn't think that I had to go back down those steps. Also, that day my leg felt very stiff so I wanted to push myself and go up there. Going up was a breeze and the view was fantastic, but when I realized I had to come down it was another story. My knee felt stiff and at one point hurting so I had...

Apple Picking in Québec (Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly)

I was travelling in the province of Québec and I discovered this incredible apple orchard and bed & breakfast. I remember that place being poor and people being on welfare. So to me it was a pleasure to find that apple-growing and picking business there being so successful. People from cities go to that place to pick apples and it`s almost like a tradition now, something very trendy. Parents are bringing their kids and making it a special annual event. It`s very refreshing to see how people...

Event Management 101 at Parc de la Chute-Montmorency ( Québec)

Something interesting happened to me while walking to the Manoir, which is close to the parking area in Parc de la Chute-Montmorency. We went to walk on the suspended bridge, which you can see on the below picture. When we got to the bridge itself to my disbelief there were bride and groom walking on the bridge together with their entourage. Unfortunately, my camera died right when I got up there, so I couldn't take pictures of them. Also, I noticed that they were angry not too happy. As I...
