About Love, Travel, and Volunteering Caring for the World:

Experience the challenges and joys of making a difference while meeting new friends all over the world

Many people dream of seeing the world and making a difference. Not everybody will act on that dream, an undertaking that can be scary and overwhelming. Kandy puts those feelings aside and sets off to volunteer as a nurse in Peru. But things do not always work out as expected. Kandy does not know that she will end up doing voluntary work as a nurse in Guatemala, with children in Thailand and South Africa, and dogs in Jamaica and Mexico. She is left stranded in the middle of nowhere, jumps off the world’s highest commercial bridge, connects with monkeys, snorkels with seals, and so much more!

Will the joys of her self-discovery journey outweigh the hardships, or will she want to return to a stable life in Canada?

Love, Travel, and Volunteering is a travelogue about self-discovery and making a difference. It captures the many obstacles that need to be overcome as a solo traveller. This travelogue is a must-read for those who love books that take them around the world and talk about different cultures as well as the challenges and joys of volunteering abroad.

About Braving the World: Adventures in Travel and Retirement:

“When it came right down to it, our dream trip felt like falling off a cliff.”

After early retirement, in 2017 Pam and her husband Dave packed four suitcases and one beer cooler full of insulin and boarded a one-way flight to Italy for a year-long dream trip.

The dream was to live like locals, find out-of-the-way restaurants, and watch the seasons change. But behind every dream, there is the reality.

What happens when two people retire from their full-time jobs and realize they have developed separate lives? Is it possible to reconnect, despite the stress of traveling, while living alone together, 24/7, in small apartments? Is there such a thing as too much togetherness? Their dream trip came with other challenges—managing Pam’s Type 1 diabetes, dodging political unrest in Barcelona, and navigating water restrictions in Egypt.

Through the ups and downs of travel, Pam and Dave start to rebuild their lives together… and look for a little adventure.

About A Girl’s Tuscan Dream:

This book is about how a forty-year dream landed me in one of the most unspoilt and beautiful areas of Tuscany. As I start writing I am sitting in my dream home looking out towards the Mediterranean Sea. The Tuscan sun is still strong at this hour, and the soft light reflecting on the hills makes the olive trees a vibrant grey green. The Love I found along the way is busy doing DIY projects. We will soon have an Aperol Spritz, some fresh basil, mozzarella and tomatoes from the garden. We will listen to the silence of the village. We will sleep well tonight and not awake until we hear the toll of the church bells or the late rising rooster. Not a sound will trouble us through the night, we may dream or not. What was a long dream for me is now a reality. How did I get here? Well, this is the tale of a Girl with a forty-year dream and a seven-year search to find her bliss. Are you ready to find your dream?
