: About Me

Sarah grew up in the province of Alberta, Canada; the land of oil and beef. Not Texas. The northern version.

She moved to Toronto in 1998 to pursue a career as a cellist, but soon realized that it was a lifelong sacrifice that she was not willing to make. She then built a career in finance in Canada's financial hub in order to fund her extra curricular activities of triathlon and martial arts.

Sarah met her future husband in 2001 and was married 3 years later. In 2005, she moved to Spain, with her husband of Spanish descent, and began a whole new, frustrating at times and continuously adventurous life.

She now resides on the Costa del Sol with her family and works as a recruitment consultant in the Offshore UK territory of Gibraltar.

She enjoys writing immensely and finds it the best outlet in sharing her adventures and deepest thoughts.

Often times the locals here in Andalucia simply serve it in a glass and you drink it with the rest of your meal. It's fantastic for hot summer days when you want something light and it still tastes just as good in a glass. Even better if you ask me. Gazpacho has become a household regular here in Spain out of practicality. In the summer your garden produces so much (300 days of sun a year) and...
