Tema's Travels
ABOUT TEMA
Travel? Work? Both? 
You may have landed on this page because you went to FrankReactions.com and it sent you here. I decided to take a break from it for a while to travel.  Read on...

 
This blog started in May of 2018, when my husband and I began a year+ of travels. This site is to give you a feeling for what that's like. 

10 months into it, I can tell you that it has been wonderful, and life-changing in a very direct way: I've decided to retire early. In these pages you'll find out why.


I grew up in an academic family, so I was used to the notion of uprooting your life every few years to live somewhere else. Here's where I've lived so far:
  • Winnipeg, Canada (birth)
  • Sweden (age 3)
  • Edmonton, Canada (mostly, from ages 5 - 21)
  • Switzerland (age 10)
  • Montreal (age 21)
  • Ottawa (age 22)
  • Toronto (mostly, ages 23 -  41)
  • The Netherlands (age 31)
  • Paris region, France (with 2 kids, aged 2 & 5)
  • Edmonton, Canada (mostly, ages 41 to ?)
  • Pau, SW France (with kids, aged 15 & 18)

 UPDATE: March 2019
  • Vancouver, Canada (May - June 2018 & March - May 2019)
  • ​London, UK (summer of 2018)
  • Lima, Peru (Nov 2018 - Feb 2019)
  • And a lot of travelling in between, and more to come!
