When I submitted my video application for the Transat Holidays Vacationer last night, it was a massive sigh of relief...for about a minute. Then I realized there's still a long road ahead of me for the rest of the interview process. Today, the hours have been ticking away very...very...very...very slowly while I sat and waited by my phone call from the Transat Selection committee...
Needless to say, I had a lot of time to think. For this application video, we were asked to profile a local tourist attraction so I spent all my time focusing on the hot spots in Toronto. But if I could've done the video anywhere in Canada (and I had an extra couple of grand in my pocket), I probably would've flown out to Whistler, BC!
I was out there earlier this year during the Winter Olympics and it absolutely blew my mind. For one, just driving through the Rockies is an amazing experience on its own. If you've never been, I strongly suggest the drive (I did that drive THREE times on that trip). Being in the valleys between these massive pieces of Earth for hours on end is an overwhelming experience. Really puts us in our place.
Then, once you're there and take the ski lifts all the way up, you're literally on top of the world! There's nothing but the sky, clouds, wind, snow, mountain, and a view that allows you to see miles and miles out. You become so in tune with your surroundings, and everything is peaceful.
But the main reason why I want to get out west again...the snowboarding, of course!! As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, winter is nearly upon us, and when you live in a really cold country, you just gotta embrace it. Nothing like a sunny day out in the powder!
Hmm...maybe Transat Holidays has a sweet two week winter vacation package waiting for the ultimate vacationers...
