2 Years Ago Today We Won the Olympic Hockey Gold

Remember when we dominated the Winter Olympics at Van2010?! YA buddy.

This was the final day of the Games, and…

…our 16th Gold, more than any other country, EVER.

GO CANADA GO!

I was making videos for Sun Media, writing for Vancouver 24 Hours newspaper, running around looking good because Canada Goose kitted me out… Van2010 was the best.

This was my final article.

I love how this was known around the wolrd as “The Party Olympics”.

Simultaneously, we set the record for the most gold medals ever won at a Winter Olympics.  Sums us up pretty well, eh?

This was our coming out party, Canada!

It’s important to keep this patriotic momentum going; we’ve been humble for long enough about being the best country in the wold.

You know those times when you got goosebumps during the Games, or when your eyes welled up?  When you were holding your breath and forgetting to blink while you willed us to victory?

That feeling, that’s the one that needs to be celebrated and screamed a little louder.

I don’t want to leave here.  I want to live in this bubble forever.

Thank you Vancouver, for showing me the time of my life.

See you soon.
I’m so coming back.

xoxo,
Keri

 

Here’s a good post I did about the Olympics last summer.

Oh Canada ILU.

 

 

A Dose of Canada Minus the Internet

I’m back; got back late last night.  It was great to escape the city.

Look, the snow found me.

That photo isn’t doing it justice; zero visibility, roads covered in black ice and you have to drive 10km/h.

Stayed here ahaha I’m definitely not in the city anymore.

Hello friend.

Woke up to this, woah.

It was nice being in the thick of winter in the middle of my “Avoiding Winter 2012” tour. Like a reminder, you know?

I travelled up to Snowshoe Resort where there is no Internet OR cel signals because of the observatory down the hill.

Nice to have it out of my hands wait – I may have made a video once about taking breaks from online life…. hang on I’ll look…

Indeed I did.

Can you leave your phone at home when you go out? Give it a shot, it’s good for you.

I’ll tell you all about the mountain and observatory this week.

I took some photos like this, for a SmartenUpInternet post about natural disguises.

Nice to be back online, TTYL

Spending Time in Nature

20120224-195050.jpg

Spending the weekend in it. It’s a neat dichotomy from my last week in the largest city in my country.

I’ve got a post drafted about that still, Internet has been a challenge since I returned here Tuesday night. And there won’t be much signal in all that nature. I don’t mind much, taking a break from the Internet is always a good idea.

My list of things to see is fun, tell you all about it when I’m back Sunday.
