Jocelyne likes to travel, dance, shop, read, drink tea, drink wine (and other spirits), listen to music, get pampered at the spa, ride motorcycles, and spend time with family and friends.
When travelling she enjoys lying on the beach, exploring cities, learning about cultures, eating food, learning a few words and phrases in a new language, and generally seeking novel adventurous experiences. Sometimes she takes time to write about her travel experiences here and on TripAdvisor.
She retired in 2023 after serving 35 years in a department of the federal government of Canada. She now works at running a small business and teaching dance, organizing occasional community events, dabbling in writing, thinking up new projects to take on, wasting too much time fiddling with the computer, dreaming about more travel, and spending time chilling with family and friends.
She has a Bachelor of English from the University of Ottawa and a Master of Public Administration from Dalhousie University. She has participated in the boards of community arts and multi-cultural non-profit organizations. She has a tendency to take on too much, but justifies this to herself because she would rather be too busy than too bored.
