A Fish Called Wanda - Wanda St.Hilaire

Wanda St.Hilaire I am a sales and marketing rep by day and writer by night, with aspirations of becoming a full-time international writer traveling the world with wanton abandon. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

I currently have a series of small gift books out called The Circle of Life and a Poetry/Journal that many women use as a travel diary. My new travel memoir, The Cuban Chronicles, is currently in production and will be out in (approximately) June. I can be found at www.wandasthilaire.com

Please feel free to utilize the fun selection of e-postcards on my website. They're very cool!

Thanks for visiting.

December 14th, 2008 Can't believe I'm here, in Argentina. My apartment is cute and the 'hood (I'm located on Santa Fe on the edge of the Recoleta district) looks good so far but I only went in search of food a few blocks in either direction; I've been here for just three hours. The time change is five hours ahead. There was a huge snowstorm in Calgary Friday night and some flights were stopped. Although [View Full Entry]

Note to the reader: I lived in Puerto Vallarta in a little pink house I called Casa Rosita for four winters writing, reading, taking art and Spanish classes and living la vida dulce. Since then, many things have changed; the city has grown and the lifestyle is vastly influenced by Americans and Canadians. I write from the perspective of being a long-time visitor to Vallarta and area. Puerto Vallarta May 25th 2008 It’s official: the ex-pats have taken over my beloved Vallarta. I am sitting on the patio at Starbuck’s, the final frontier of the coffee world. I need to find [View Full Entry]

Feliz Navidad www.wandasthilaire.com December 13th, 2007 Wow. This place brings out the Catholic in me. I have already bought a manger and lights. “Away in a manger, nooooho crib for a bed…” At the church near my casita women sit surrounded by greens making gorgeous handmade barn/mangers made from twigs, covered in moss and flowers.

www.wandasthilaire.com Oaxaca: pronounced Wa-ha-ka Oaxaqueno: Wa-ha-ken-neeo (person from Oaxaca) Rate of exchange: approximately 10 pesos per Canadian dollar September 10th, 2007 Monday Day One Finally. I am in Oaxaca. We’ll call this day one; we cannot count an overnighter in a dumpy Houston airport hotel. My original Oaxaca trip was booked for September of 2006 after years of reading about the wonders of this very Mexican region. Keeping an eye on the Trip Advisor’s forum, the final hour found me making a detour due to the escalation of the teacher’s strike, [View Full Entry]
