Dépaysement translates roughly as “change of scenery.” It translates even more roughly as “The feeling that comes from not being in one’s own country.”

I am an American in Canada. It takes some getting used to.

Who I am

I'm an American living in Kelowna, BC (Canada) with my husband, Eric. I miss the Peet's Coffee and Mexican food that is so easy to find in my beloved San Francisco Bay Area. But not the traffic. Having given up driving way too fast, I still stay up way too late and drink way too much coffee.

I owned and operated a mobile computer business, Computer Care Kelowna, before retiring in 2018. My weekly column, "Getting Along With Your Computer" appeared on castanet.net.
