Hi everyone!
I’m Sarah, and I’m so happy to be here in this group. A little about me — I was born in Manitoba, Canada, but almost 10 years ago I left on a big adventure, eventually landing in Wellington, New Zealand, where I’ve lived for the past 6½ years. I manage a yoga studio there and love being surrounded by a community of health-conscious, positive, and outdoorsy people.
This is actually my first time back to Canada since I left — I’m here in Alberta for a month visiting friends and family, and I’ll be heading back to New Zealand on August 28. I’m keeping this trip low-budget and full of connection — staying with friends, couch surfing, and meeting like-minded people along the way.
At the moment, I’m trying to organise a trip to Saskatchewan on August 13 to visit my sister and celebrate my nephew’s birthday on the 14th. Because her home is quite small (and will be full with kids and family!), I’m looking for somewhere nearby to stay. If you have recommendations, know of a place, or even have a spare room/couch, I’d love to hear from you.
I’m also figuring out how to get from Calgary to Saskatchewan — open to rideshares, bus suggestions, or even renting someone’s unused car for a week if that’s an option. I’m very flexible and just happy to explore!
So far, my time here has been amazing — I just got back from a 3-day camping trip in Kananaskis Country with my best friend (who I hadn’t seen in 10 years!) where we hiked the Turbine Canyon loop and Pocaterra Ridge. Such a beautiful part of the world!
My friend Andrea recommended I join this group and share my story to see if anything clicks. Thanks so much for reading — I’m really looking forward to the rest of my time here and hopefully connecting with some of you along the way. � Feel free to shoot me an email if that works too
