Are you curious about what actually happens at a Singles Golf Lessons and Networking event? what about when its held at one of the most prestigious golf courses in Canada? That sounds pretty exciting to me. I was hooked on the very idea, and so I signed up and eagerly attended the first (and only) Singles Golf Lessons and Mixer event ever hosted by Toronto Matchmaker Laura Bilotta from Single in the City and the golf instructors at the golf academy at Lionhead just to see for myself what happens, and maybe meet the golfing girl of my dreams. Can you picture yourself out on the fairways, or putting golf balls at the greens surrounded by confident athletic people of every description? The one and only Singles Golf Lessons and Mixer was full ... read more

This was a difficult hike for a variety of reasons, I will detail them in the following paragraphs. Today would be one of my longer hikes. It would be somewhere around 35KM to Old Base Line Rd in Caledon. I parked my at the Bruce Trail Parking lot at 15 Side Rd in Speyside.

Well, I am trying to organize and pack for my trip to Korea, and this is probably the most difficult part of the trip, in my opinion. Trying to figure out what to take with me! I always put aside too much to fit into my bag, and usually end up very frustrated and close to tears by the time I have to leave. I am NOT known for my early starts on stuff either. The hardest part of this trip is not having been there before. From what everyone tells me, it is very different than North America or Europe, and the fact that I will be working for half the time that I'm there makes it even more difficult to decide what I need to take with me. I have done most of my ... read more
