I recently spied a playful sign in a craft market that read, 'Who Runs The World... Girls Do!’
Haha, I thought. As a travel writer and life observer who has set foot on all seven continents I understand full well that girls do not, indeed, run the world. Men do. That's a fact!
As a travel journalist writing about travel from a woman's point of view, I am in touch with other writers and photographers on a daily basis. It doesn't matter if these folks are in London, Delhi, or New York City, each is as close to me as my computer keyboard. Over the years we've become cyber pals and that certainly helps when, every March, I spearhead a photography project to celebrate International Women's Day(IWD).
March 8, International Women’s Day, follows very shortly after the closing of the Olympic Games in Sochi. And what a wonderful Games it was for our Canadian women athletes. In fact, we can celebrate the fact that our women held their own during those Games and captured even more GOLD medals (6 medals) than the men did (4 medals).
