Welcome, Willkommen et Bienvenue! | French Bay. COLD LAKE , ALBERTA |
I was born and raised in Hanau, Germany, but immigrated to Canada 21 years ago. Wow, how time flies! I now live in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, one of the oldest communities of our province. Having grown up in Germany of course enabled to visit a variety of countries which I greatly enjoyed. The first country I travelled to was the island of Mallorca at the age of three. Of course I don't remember much other than being fascinated by palm trees. Well, actually I still am. :)Our second trip took us to Rivabella di Rimini, Italy, and we drove through Austria as well as Switzerland. Austria though became my parents favourite vacation spot, the towns of Going and Erpfendorf to be exact. Both are located at the foot of the WILDE KAISER MOUNTAIN range.. As a teenager I ventured much farther to Paris, Normandy, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Sweden until I "jumped " over the big pond to Canada...I ended up in the Prairie Province of Alberta and lived in Edmonton for just about a year before moving to St. Albert.. I like my new country however I still miss the proximity to other countries as I am a bit limited here in North America.. :) But of course I can always travel via VT which is fun too.. |

The Future Travel Addict..:) Getting off the plane in Palma de Mallorca.
I love travelling as I enjoy getting to know about the various cultures, history and of course the people. At times I feel a bit isolated here in North America but hopefully I will be able to venture farther South in the future.. BTW I am the one holding the huge bear..He is quite a traveller too..He even made it here to Canada..:) Some of you wanted to know his name, so here goes: ZOTTY..:) He might need his own page..:) |  | | I'm the one with the bear |
