Originally from London, England, spent some years in Europe before emigrating to Montreal, Canada in 1967. Spent a couple of years in Prince Edward Island and moved to my present base in Ottawa, Ontario, although I browse North America 24/7.

Spent 2016-17 winter in my Roadtrek, in Arizona, where I joined the Solos group of the Escapees RV Club.. Forced to spend several months of 2017-18 winter in Ottawa - Brrrh! - due to small fire. 2018 spent the winter in and around Arizona, largely with Solos: Quartzsite, Yuma, Tucson ....
October 2019 I traded my much-loved Roadtrek for more space: a 2007 20ft Wilderness trailer and a half-ton pickup truck. I spent most of the winter in Arizona, until my medical insurer gave me 10 days to return to Canada.
In the pouring rain, my trailer had an argument with a pothole on the US93N - and lost (see pic). The Wilderness now rests in pieces in Arizona. Although suffering a major redesign at the rear, my truck proves the value of making sure you have a well-maintained tow vehicle, with lots of reserve power. Had I not had the RAM 5.7 Hemi, we could all be still resting permanently in Arizona.
I am currently in search of a new trailer while the truck is in for 3 weeks of repairs.:) I am one lucky lady!

My big loves are warm weather/sun, sailing, horse riding, easy walking and the great outdoors. Mostly positive, I am always game to try something new. I enjoy both sharing with other people and spending time alone.

Skills & Expertise to Share

My mother tongue is english, and I speak french, german, spanish and one or two words of russian. This was a great asset in my business life, where, alongside my admin skills, I gained considerable experience in PR and problem-solving.

I have worked, both part- and full-time, in a variety of administrative environments, doing all kinds of things over the years. I have worked alongside lawyers, directors, clerical staff, business owners,...I have also spent time working/volunteering at race tracks (motor racing), as well as at musical, equestrian, sailing and other events.

I thoroughly enjoy my retirement and am constantly finding activities that fill my days to overflowing. RVing is fulfilling my desire to travel.and a small motorhome filled the bill for 3 years. In 2019-20 I enjoyed the relative luxury of the truck/trailer combo, and hope to continue in this vein. One thing has embarrassed me though, and startled my neighbours: firing up a little truck that bursts into song like a Harley Davidson.

Wantok's Pets

Love animals, especially dogs and horses, but no longer have any pets.

Favorite Boondocking Locations

Some experience now with boondocking, and marvelous experiences with Boondockers Welcome, which bring me into contact with RVers of all kinds. I know I am learning a great deal from my Hosts, and hope that I am also able to make a useful contribution.

Wantok's Hometown

Born London, England, now make my base in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I finding it difficult to have to spend half the year outside the (southern) U.S. as that is where I have mostly found my RV friends. Hopefully, I will be able to spend summer doing good stuff in Canada, as I have found RVers in that part of the world.
