After twenty-plus years in the radio business, I guess I qualify as a
" veteran." There's certainly nothing else I'd rather do, with the possible
exception of running a chili stand. I love to cook.

My other joys come from the arts (music, dance, opera) and the company of caring, thinking people. (One would have to include Stephen and Willem in this category, no?) I was born to a Ukrainian farm family in northern Saskatchewan, and grew up there amidst the wild animals, swaying trees, grain fields and purple skies of the Canadian "outback."

My home is never far from my mind, although I've been resident in Montreal for several years. I'm usually very happy wherever I am, and I'm looking forward to exploring more of the world and sharing the adventures with Travel World listeners. All my travels have been on the North American continent, notably Newfoundland, the Colorado and Alberta Rockies, the islands off the coast of BC, Pennsylvania Dutch Country and the Florida Keys. My most-desired destinations are Machu Picchu and the Pyramids, Scotland and my ancestral home of Ukraine. Perhaps those dreams will come to pass.
