Episode 2: Show notes
When people first meet me online through video, two questions come up right away: “Where is that accent from?” and “Where do you live?” In this episode I answer both with a few stories from my life—how a farmer’s daughter from Montana found her way to Canada, and what living here looks like in everyday, often quirky ways.
Listen in for a short Canadian love story, a practical geography and climate overview, and several small cultural quirks that make life here delightful and sometimes a little amusing.
