UPDATE 10 June 2010: I am now a Canadian living in Africa! Today is the day that the World Cup starts here in Africa - though admittedly at the other end of the continent - and so I hope that there will be many eyes on this wonderful land. I now live in Mali - one of the poorest countries on the planet - and as you will see I have swapped a life of jet-setting and hotel parties for one of more serious a sober work! I founded and run a small non-profit called Angel Projects http://www.angelprojects.org/[/url - and I have moved my blog onto my new website for the organisation.

Please feel free to visit, read, comment, recommend and otherwise leave feedback. This is an adventure for us all to take part in and to share.

Many thanks

Andrea

I am a Canadian, currently living in Dubai, UAE. I am a Flight Attendant with Emirates Airline, and am currently jetting around the world and living my dream of being paid to travel!

I have never been good at writing things down. I've always felt that my life moves too fast to keep up with it by putting pen to paper. I tried keeping a journal for a while when I first began travelling, but I found that the only time I would write anything down was when I needed to vent and get frustrated thoughts out of my head. The rest of the time I was too busy enjoying myself to take the time to write in my journal. So it didn't last.

Thankfully, the internet now exists, and although my typing will still never be able to keep up with my active mind, I am going to make an attempt at recording some of the wierd and wonderful things that have, and are, happening in my life. Mostly, I want a place to show my family and friends some of the photos that they have been requesting to see for so long! And to those of you who enjoy hearing stories, I will try my best to mention any stories that seem to stand out.

Thank you, and enjoy!

Andrea - Dubai UAE
