Chris & Me In Berets (cheesiness intended) at The Narrow

I wonder sometimes what my life would’ve been like if the Internet had never existed. I imagine I’d have a pretty boring job and know very little about the world. I’d probably only have met a fraction of the people I know today too. Of the people I wouldn’t have met, there are a few that I would’ve wished I had and Christine Estima is one of those few.

Chris was a fellow Top 50 candidate for the Best Job in the World and we’ve kept in touch via e-mail, Twitter and Facebook ever since. She decided to venture over to the West coast for some of our world-famous outdoor thrills so we finally had an opportunity to meet in person this week!

If you read Chris’ blog and tweets before meeting her, you’ll feel like you’ve already met because her writing is so true to herself. We gabbed for hours with barely a breather and if the concept of time didn’t exist we’d probably have been able to chatter on for a while longer. This girl has loads of energy, a ‘tude to match, and the worst dating stories ever (LOL)! She’s a hoot and a half and I can’t wait to see her when she returns from her action packed week in Whistler. <3

Sidenote: All skytrain stations should have internet booths! My phone died on my way to meet Chris and I didn’t have her number written down. We had been in the middle of a text chat about where and when to meet so I wasn’t sure where I was supposed to be. I was close to asking someone with a data plan if s/he could send a tweet on my behalf but it all worked out in the end and I spotted her across the street.
