Category Archives: Western Europe Totoyaya, our beloved camper van, has arrived in Canada! This practical post describes the ins and outs of the process of getting her from Europe to North America on a ferry, and gives an overall opinion on our experience with Seabridge Motorhome Shipping Company.  For six weeks, Bruno and I were apart. While I was off gallivanting about the US to visit old friends and spending quality family time at home in Eastern Canada, Bruno was having his own adventure in Europe. This post is a second-hand account of that adventure.  I’m in Canada, and Bruno’s in France. Snif. But don’t worry, he’s making his way to my continent… and with Totoyaya! This blog explains why we’re bringing our home-on-wheels to Canada this year, and ends with a VERY IMPORTANT request from all my North American readers! Please read, and PLEASE HELP!!  There may be advantages to living in one place for an extended period of time, but there are also challenges. After living in a house in France for nine weeks, the novelty of living a normal life in a normal house was wearing off and I was able to analyze the non-nomadic lifestyle without my rose-tinted glasses on.  Hosting a dinner party is hard work. Hosting a vegetarian dinner party is a test of creativity. Hosting a vegetarian dinner party for a group of French people is a cultural education like no other. Here, I describe the must-have ingredients, speed, and flow of a successful French lunch party. |
