I had an extraordinary summer. Two years ago I was interviewed for a job as a driver for Canada’s CBC media team for the Tokyo Olympics.Then when corona hit the job went out the window. A lot of debate about whether the Olympics would go ahead or not ensued. Personally, I was hoping they’d postpone […]

Extra Extra Training
