Me standing in the Mississippi en route from NS to BC

Hi! I’m Carolyn, the owner, ruler, caretaker etc. of this blog.

I’m the new holder of a fancy pants Master of Science in Botany from UBC in Vancouver. I also have strong personal interests in both the environment and traveling. So those are going to be the main topics of this blog, along with the occasional other issue that arises and peaks my interest. I by no means am presenting myself as an expert in either of these fields, I’m far from it. But I have issues, information and thoughts I want to pass on to others and I encourage you to use the information presented in this blog to start you off on some of your own research and develop your own opinions on the topics addressed.

So you know a bit about me and where I’m coming from…

I grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada and lived there until I was 23 (I’m now 26). I currently live in Vancouver, BC but will shortly (January 09) be moving to Melbourne Australia on a working holiday visa with my boyfriend. Exciting! Ever since we learned about recycling in grade 2 and I tried to get my mom to agree to put a brick in the toilet tank (not successfully) I’ve had an interest in the environment. That interest has recently caused me to adopt a vegetarian diet. It’s a lot of fun.

So that’s me in a very short nutshell. Enjoy the blog!
