In between the snowy and windy days, we actually managed to go for a cycle trip finally. There are so many bike paths everywhere around us and we have been waiting for the weather to improve for ages. On Sunday we decided to venture out early and take a short trip along the Bow river […]

Heard a saying on the radio today that so well describes the weather conditions here in Calgary – ‘the season that has formerly been known as Spring has been renamed to Sprinter’. All throughout March, I was amazed at the amount of sunshine here in Calgary and was convinced that spring will be here soon. […]
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 […]
After last Tuesday’s +19C in Calgary, the weather went back to being very wintery. Overcast and cold and by today -11 and 6cm of snow. Nevertheless we believe that spring will not be long now and Easter Sunday we planted some seeds as a start of our herb garden. We had been to Canadian Tire […]
I signed up a few weeks ago to be coached by Tara Butler. She organised the webinars to starting entrepreneurs that I was listening in for most of February and of all the coaches interviewed, I decided to choose her to help me on my journey of becoming an entrepreneur. I chose her because I […]
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.

I had to pass a driving test today to get a proper driving licence – the one I had until now has been learner’s licence and I could not even rent a car with that. The way the system works here is that if you are not on the list of countries who have reciprocal […]
The weather is still cold most of the days, but the snow is almost gone and the river is halfway ice free. It is the first time I saw the Bow river without ice covering it and I surprised to find out how shallow it is in the middle. It is very fast – coming […]
Yes, it is possible and yes, it has happened to me now. I have been working out every single week since I arrived here in Calgary with the exception of last week when I was at home with fever (spring flu of some sorts). Every week we have been going to gym 2-3 times a […]
During the time for fasting according to old traditions we took on time to detox. Detox is just a milder form of fasting – at least for us. We did not consume alcohol or red meat for the entire period and gradually reduced the types of foods we ate and then built up again. It […]
