My path

About me

My name is Tiffany and I was born in the city of San Fernando on the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago (Trini). I moved to Toronto, Canada at the age of 14 and have lived there ever since till the end of December 2009. I moved to Taipei, Taiwan in January 2010 to live with my boyfriend. In late February we moved to Keelung where my boyfriend worked, a city only about 40 minutes by train from Taipei. Now I'm back in Toronto and will stay here for a while until the next destination calls out to me. :o) I worked in the magazine publishing industry for over 10 years and have been involved in Photography for much longer than that. I'm currently freelancing in the photography and wedding invitations business.

I can speak English

My birthday is on 14 July, I was born in 1975

Me In Taiwan

This is more of a photography blog. For some of the cool places I’ve visited I will add an entry. :o)

Canada
Toronto

I am currently living in Canada since January 2012

My occupation:

I'm an independent saleswoman for LegalShield. I'm also freelancing in Graphic Design, Photography and creating wedding invitations, and I design and create homemade greeting cards.

What I like about this destination:

I love the multicultural diversity of this city! The food and products you get here, are stuff you can find all over the world. Imported by the people who moved and now live here.

What I don't like about this destination:

We really need to improve our transit system. SMH. No major changes or improvement since I first moved here in 1990. Well, except for that silly 5 stop train from Sheppard to Fairview Mall. Yeah, that's not a major change, just a major cost to the city. We need the system that Taipei has.

Being as it was just Chinese New Year, well three weekends ago, people are still lighting off firecrackers in the late mornings...STILL! - Every single BBQ street vendor sells chicken guts and butts, but it's hard to find one who sells the meat. :o( - No central heating in the homes, but that's not terrible, just uncomfortable in the mild winter time.
