It’s About Boththe Journey and the Destination WITH STAFF MEMBER JANET MCDONALD world traveler / tap dancer / HGTV addict By Ashley Davis, Marketing Services For an avid traveler, the thought of finding a job that allows you to help others fall in love with travel, sounds pretty sweet, doesn’t it? Well that’s exactly what Janet gets to do every day at the office. Now, while the idea of traveling is one most people fantasize about, don’t forget there’s a heck of a lot of hard work involved. From brainstorming the initial destination to the hairy details of coordinating international tours, academic guides, accommodations, transportation and so on—add to that that there are up to five tours offered each year—and you’ll start to understand how it’s a job that requires not only a passion for travel, but many hours of planning too. For Janet, program coordinator for Continuing Studies’ Travel Study Program and the division’s arts courses, both the journey and the destination are important. “I love to travel and I love the arts, so the ability to coordinate [both] is very satisfying. [Travel] is almost an addiction for me, and the planning is nearly as enjoyable as the actual trip. If I don’t have a vacation planned at all times, I get quite antsy.” Because she is a traveler, naturally it would make sense for Janet to have entertained the idea of living in other countries, right? Well… nope! Janet is one of the lucky ones, already living where she’d most like to be, reminding us that Victoria is simply “the perfect place to live.” But as an alternative, she says she’d be willing to give one of two places a chance—now listen closely, it’s not every day that someone who has traveled to as many places as Janet has, lists their top two favourites. continued pg.12 11

Janet McDonald continued from pg.11“Both the east coast of Newfoundlandand Auckland, New Zealand are similarwith regard to lifestyle; there seems tobe far less focus on material possessionsand superficial personal traits.

Because I was doing what I loved, I had the energy, the time and the passion to make it all work. Following Your WITH STUDENT KRISTIN WIENS34

Joy by Therese Eley, Marketing Services When you love what you’re doing, balancing a career, family and school is easy. At least according to Kristin Wiens, who started her first class with Continuing Studies as a single mother of two pursuing a diploma in Intercultural Education, while concurrently completing a degree in Cultural Anthropology and Linguistics at UVic. “Not to make it sound like it was easy all the time,” she amends, as she reflects on the creative scheduling that was often involved. “People ask me all the time, how I managed to do it all, but it just never felt that hard because I was following my joy. I loved being a mom. I loved going to school. Those things never felt like a burden at all, they felt like a privilege and a pleasure,” she says. “Because I was doing what I loved, I had the energy, the time and the passion to make it all work.” “I always knew I wanted to work with children, to teach,” says Kristin, who now works as an Inclusion Coach and Special Ed Curriculum Coordinator for the Sooke School District, “but another thing I always really wanted to do was write a children’s book.” So, shortly after completing her first degree and diploma program, she enrolled in a Continuing Studies Arts course, entitled Writing for Children. That course, along with subsequent drawing and writing courses she took, inspired her to create a children’s picture book as the final project for her Masters degree in Special Education. “I saw a need in the school system. I noticed that the stress on children, on parents, on teachers, seems to only be growing, so the need for strategies and approaches to reduce and deal with stress seems pretty important.” Photo: Therese Eley continued pg.36 35

Kristin Wiens continued from pg.35“So for my final project, I created a picture and I have a YouTube channel, called ‘Long joyful, rewarding life and always learningbook called My Gratitude Jar, and it tied Story Shortz’, and we create stop-motion and stretching to see how full yourtogether my experience from all my animations to teach mindfulness and self- potential really is.
