Description

This month we are chatting with Christina McFadden.

Christina was born and raised in Germany and was living there when she met her husband, a Canadian Military member. She came to Canada to start a new life with her husband. 

In this conversation Christina tells us  some of the challenges she faced, and what surprised her about living in Canada and living on a military base. We also talk about:

• how  volunteer work helped Christina to meet people and improve her job skills;
• her advice for new Canadians;
• how pushing out of her comfort zone helped her to grow and expand her horizons; and
• how she has built a community of friends that help her to stay in touch with her German culture.

We also touch on winter in Petawawa, bears and the challenges of ordering at a drive-thru!
