About Me — Jillian Amatt

This is the short version! — I have written a long version of My Story as well, which I will link below. As I was typing it, the familiar feeling of ‘Does anyone really want to know all this about me?’ crept in. The answer is that I’m not sure, so I decided to give people…

It Is Ludicrous That a Canadian Oil Company Wants To Drill For Oil Near the Okavango Delta

Will the insanity never end? — This morning an article in Rolling Stone Magazine, Will an Oil Racket Destroy One of Africa’s Most Sacred Places?, crossed my feed. It immediately caught my eye because it was written about an issue that has caused me great sorrow. In 2021 my partner and I housesat in Maun, Botswana…

Why We Will Never Use Airbnb Again

It’s simply a moral decision. — About 10 years ago, a friend in Canada suggested I should check out Airbnb after he and his wife spent a couple of weeks traveling around Europe while using the platform. “We stayed with some lovely hosts,” he said, “and the prices were much more affordable than hotels.” Immediately, I…

Sargassum Seaweed Might Not Be a Problem But a Solution

If only we decide to look in the right direction. — Many of you may have heard of the sargassum seaweed that is making its way through the Caribbean and all the way up to Florida. Some are calling it a ‘blob’. In fact, CNN claims that the ‘blob’ is twice the width of the US. Talk about a dramatic headline! …

Zoning In On Our Latest Mural Project

My Weeks in Photos — Week 62 & 63 — May 12 — May 31, 2023 — When I went to look for my last weekly wrap-up to see where I left off, I was surprised to find that I haven’t written one in a couple of weeks. I won’t lie, I have felt little desire to write much in the past 8 weeks. …

A Disastrous Reintegration Into the Western World — Part Two

How often does a bus leave 25 minutes before its scheduled departure? — Because we only had a limited amount of cash at this point, we didn’t fancy spending all of it on a hotel night in Frankfurt. In fact, we didn’t even know if we even had enough for a night in Frankfurt. My prior research had shown me that hotels and…

A Disastrous Reintegration Into the Western World — Part One

One missed bus, a bus that left 25 minutes early without us, and a debit card that wouldn’t work. — We had just spent the previous three years living in Africa and Eastern Europe. Much of Africa doesn’t operate on schedules or timelines. Africans move forward gracefully and take each moment as it comes, not fast and hurried as our culture does. Eastern Europe is different also. While they do…

Fighting the Haze In Canada

My Weeks in Photos — Week 61 — May 11— May 17, 2023 — It’s kind of interesting because I have been feeling the need to write an article about how unfocused I have felt since arriving back in Canada. I don’t know if it is the sheer amount of distractions that exist in this society, or if it is just my tired brain…
