Tips for Life in Canada

5


5 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Jan 07, 2020

Coming to visit Canada? Thinking of immigrating to The Great White North? Just curious about how life is like on the other side of the pond?

I'm here to help, eh?

I'll provide a document briefly explaining simple things about our geography, history, health care, culture, education, and more, straight to your inbox as soon as we agree on this deal.

Canada is a beautiful country with 4 distinct seasons, beautiful and diverse wildlife, and a variety of scenery. We are a diverse country, with many cultures mingling throughout each province and territory.

What you've heard is true; Canadians are very polite, and yes, we say "sorry" all the time, and we do say "eh?" all the time, too. Even those who, like me, swore we'd never say "eh" end up surrendering to the Canadian trademark expression that can mean just about anything. Find out more in the document.

Training & Qualifications


I'm a naturalized Canadian. I left Brazil in 1997, lived in Chicago for 4 years, and immigrated from there to Canada, where I have been happily living since December of 2000. Yes, I immigrated to Canada in December, in the middle of a snow storm, which was a lovely introduction to my new home in the Great White North. I'm a proud Canadian who served in the Canadian Naval Reserves for 7 years, and I have fully embraced my home in the Northern Hemisphere (though I'll always complain about winter. Like most Canadians).

Availability & Preferences


My availability is flexible, but it may take me a few days to answer your message.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

I'm delighted with the report Mariana provided of Immigrating to Canada! It really showcases Mariana's skills as a freelancer of traveling and adventu...re. I'll be practicing conversational Spanish with Mariana and able to learn more about the "pandora's knowledge" that Mariana is and all the wisdom she's bringing to our community here in Simbi. Thank you for being here, dear soul. Namaste/Alohashow more

About Mariana Abeid-McDougall

𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥/𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: * I do not under any circumstances promote MLM products; please do not request my services for this. * I am on Simbi to barter. Please do... not contact me with the intent of funneling me to your paid products. ___ 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗲 I'm an experienced freelance writer and editor who loves to meet people, barter, and help others. I'm also an avid traveller, a happily married wife since 2006, and a homeschooling mother of three children born in 2010, 2012, and 2014. I have an extensive background in various fields, as I have been working since 1997 in various jobs, often simultaneously. I have been a lifeguard, an adult swimming lessons instructor, a retail sales clerk, a call centre operator, a teacher, a Registered Kinesiologist, a personal trainer, a writer, an editor, and the list goes on. I also served 7 years in the Canadian Naval Reserves as a military clerk. Aside from my professional experience, my travel experience is also extensive. I've lived in 3 different countries, and our family has had the chance to do some wonderful travelling. Before we had children, my husband and I toured for 2 months around Canada and the US, sightseeing during the day and swing dancing at night (swing dancing is how we met). We cycled 557 kilometers with our kiddos when they were 6, 4, and 2. And we spent 9 months between 2018 and 2019 travelling in an RV all over the US and Canada. I'm interested in a variety of things, and my services on here reflect that. If you've ever heard the term "renaissance soul," "multipotentialite," or "scanner," that's me. I hope that you'll find a service that'll be useful to you among my offerings, and I look forward to trading with you.show more
