Episode 2: Show notes
When people first meet me online through video, two questions often come up: “Where is that accent from?” and “Where do you live?” In this episode I answer both. I share how a Montana farmer’s daughter found her way to Canada and describe some of the charming quirks of life where I live now.
Listen in for a short Canadian love story, a tidy geography and climate snapshot, and a few of the small cultural differences that make daily life here delightful and sometimes a little surprising.
