So there I was on the Bay of Fundy, minding my own business, when I realized that normal people don't get to see 100 billion tonnes of seawater flowing back and forth in front of their kitchen windows every day. As someone who has grown up living in the most extreme tides on the planet, I've taken it upon myself to share my adventures living, tasting and exploring the Bay of Fundy.

Stuff I like to do? hike, take pictures, walk on the ocean floor, kayak over the same spot at high tide, garden, eat & cook local cuisine, and explore Bay of Fundy's backroads & sculpted coast in my VW bug with my dog, husband and kids (whoops, not necessarily in that order!) My happiest moments are when I'm sharing my passion for "all things Bay of Fundy" with friends, family and visitors.

Although I'm based in Parrsboro in the upper Bay of Fundy's extreme tidal zone, I travel and explore the whole bay year-round for work and play.

I'm also on Twitter @bayoffundy and I've got a fun collection of 'best of the best' Bay of Fundy videos on www.youtube.com/fundybay
