I am a Vancouver-based writer, fuelling my outdoor adventures with a heady mixture of enthusiasm and anxiety. Wilderness is my first love, and if I'm not writing about hiking, climbing, skiing or other outdoor adventures, then I'm probably in the mountains somewhere without a pen. Either that, or I'm cleaning my house. Somehow, that job never ends. Read about my adventures at http://girlintheworld.ca
