My name is Margaret, Margie, Marg/s, Margot, Meg, Maggie … It seems to change depending on who I am speaking to. I don’t really mind what you call me, as long as it’s not too rude.

I used to be a fairly stressed-out journalist in Australia. In early 2012, my boyfriend and I decided to escape the daily grind and move to Vancouver, Canada. I started working in content marketing at a local tech company, but realised I was still a bit of a daydreamer who missed writing — and so the blog was born.

You’ll find a lot of my “musings” here, but this isn’t solely a travel blog or a place for me to rant. Rather, I want to celebrate and share some of the beautiful places and experiences that this part of the world has to offer.

When I’m not spending time in the great outdoors or exploring beautiful British Columbia, I work as a freelance writer and editor. If you’d like to work with me on an editorial or marketing project — or if you just want to say hi — feel free to get in touch by emailing msmiddaymusings(@)gmail.com.
