Good girls go to Pataya. City girls go to the Wild Wild North.

Or – just a girl, me. Like a survival reality show, I’m competing with the grumpy Canadian weather, bears, beavers, and lovely deer-flies for food, entertainment and decent photographs. Set in isolation with minimum outfit options and… (say what!) – limited WiFi, I’m challenging my wits, biceps and questionable sense of fashion to prove that a city chick is the best type of a chick.
One learns very quickly that country living is about hard rough work – chopping, lifting, splitting, fixing (you name it). Equipped with a basic tool – Mr. Axe, I’m armed and dangerous to any dead tree in the way.
Being a fitness freak is paying off. A quick warm-up, stretches and chop, chop, chop… My personal trainer ( Leo ) loves to repeat: today’s pain – tomorrow’s gain.
Have you ever wondered how Thai-Chi was invented?
Thinking of what was going through Geppetto’s head when he created Pinocchio, I generated a super swing that any country boy would envy:
Like in business, it seems that behind every successful project stands a pair of well-trained and qualified individuals.
Where the iron rusted and broke, I pushed further and further and further. If only those awesome shades could reveal the tears of joy sparkling in my eyes.
As the day progressed my KPI’s were booming. I attacked every milestone of country living and successfully carried out every bit of it. My biggest accomplishment was laundering bed sheets in a boiling hot water using nothing but a stone, a piece of soap and bare hands.
The country wisdom says: it takes a craftsman to carve a beautiful canoe.
But it takes a fearless City Chick to sail it.
A bientôt!
