BJ Oudman is a western Canadian based freelance writer with interests and experience in a healthy active lifestyle, travel, food and beverages of all sorts, from coffee to cocktails. She left her profession as a physical therapist in Calgary, Alberta after 30 years to seize the opportunity to relocate to Vancouver, British Columbia for her partner’s career. She has travelled extensively through Europe, Asia, North and Central America and is unlikely to ever call just one place home. The driving force behind creating content is the stories of passionate people she meets along her journey.
