As I’ve written before, I started working with a coach in the beginning of April to get my company started more efficiently and faster. Now I have been doing the homework every week, figuring out what my niche could be, meeting people and doing my market research in getting to know whether the niche I’m […]

Given our taste for a beer, we have tried and tested a few establishments by now. I still haven’t found the beer that I could enjoy as much as I enjoy beers in Estonia. But we have a few favourite pubs to go to. The common problem with the beers here is that they are […]
We have lived in Calgary for over 3 months now, but still have not bought ourselves a car. It was a conscious decision to see if we need one and how well do we cope without. For weekends when we want to go skiing or just visit some new places in the Rockies, we rent […]
We only have Friday off here in Canada, so we had rented a car already Thursday evening to be able to go to the mountains early on Friday. We put on the ski kit and packed the bags and went straight to the Nordic Centre of Canmore. http://www.albertaparks.ca/canmore-nordic-centre.aspx The weather was fantastic – sunshine and +8 […]
One of the first things I did when arriving in Calgary was to find out if there is an Estonian Society of some sorts. I figured that we are coming completely into the unknown and do not know anyone and therefore meeting some Estonians would be a good way to start building a network of […]
This Saturday we decided that we go and see the different galleries that we have noticed around downtown Calgary. We went to yoga class, then out for a lunch at Bumpy’s – very nice little café with excellent choice of everything. We had printed out a map with addresses of all the galleries that we […]
Last Sunday we went to see a hockey game – Calgary Flames vs Phoenix Coyotes (a.k.a. Prairie Dogs). Neither myself nor my husband have ever been hockey fans, but since we had a chance to go and see a local team play in a country where the national sport clearly is hockey, we did not […]
We got a lot of things done past Saturday – after the successful purchase of our cowboy and girl wear we went to Calgary WineFest. http://www.celebratewinefest.com/calgary.html It was held at the Stampede Grounds in a Big Four building – it is a very big building. We had got the tickets to the Saturday afternoon session and […]
One of the most known things about Alberta (besides oil and gas) is probably that here are a lot of cowboys/girls. We saw the first people with hats and boots already when we arrived at Calgary airport end of last year. Since then we have seen lots more. One of the big events that Calgary […]
Big day today – registered my company in Alberta. Will get the papers in 5-7 business days, but considering that today is the birthday of my company: Coaching by Ave Peetri Inc. The process itself was quite easy. Did a google search to find out how to register, found out that there are several companies […]
