About Me

Well, hello there. How are you? I see you’re confused. You’ve wandered over into my corner of the Internet by following a path of righteousness, and now you’re standing here scratching your head in wonderment. Good call, my friend. Pull up a chair. Rest your weary soul.

My name is Candice Walsh. I’m a 20-something female dangling precariously on the edge of eastern Canada, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. You may recognize me as the angry redhead.

In my professional life, I was a technical writer for an international deep sea technology company for two years. I wrote compelling literature about sonar equipment, and I document user manuals. Nowadays I’m an unemployed bum, and also an associate editor at Matador Network, the world’s largest independent online travel magazine. For a healthy extra dose of morality, I’m a Girl Guider leading the Rangers group.

In my personal life, I live for the night scene. The clubs, the pubs, the drinks, the boys, the nachos. I have an active social life, I devour books, crave steeped tea, eat chocolate like it’s crack, and spend time with my incredible family. I obsess over travel, have an RSS feed loaded with travel blogs, pour endlessly over guides…but for now, I’m standing still.

My first travel experience occurred two years ago, when I left Canada for the first time and studied for six weeks in England. In that time, I hopped to Scotland, Ireland and Holland. This year, I’ve navigated Mexico and France.

Ironically, now with the launch of my new travel writing career, I remain motionless. My current financial situation has me grounded indefinitely, until I plot world domination, win the lottery or marry a sugar-daddy. Or hey, maybe I’ll just pay off my student loans.

The point is this website will be mostly reflective and narrative. If you have ever read my personal blog, you’ll realize my life is a tangled mess of unfortunate coincidences, bizarre experiences, and shady characters. I have a lifetime of stories, trust me.

But throughout the course of finding my voice, I am plotting my travels. I’m single and happy and optimistic that all my goals will be attainable. In the meantime, I’ll be doing some short-term Canadian travel and blogging about the incredible city of St. John’s.

I experienced some conflict when developing this site, as I wanted it to reflect my professionalism. Screw professionalism. I’m on a mission to bare myself honestly, and if that involves divulging details of dancing on bars and having torrid love affairs in France, so be it. Here are my stories.
