Lucy in Canada

When Lucy started university in Canada, she wanted to be a social worker. But she liked her art courses so much that she changed her mind. She became a good painter and thought she would teach art.

When Lucy was 21, she graduated and almost took a job in Toronto. Instead, her friend Sue talked her into taking a “gap year”—a time when young people can travel, explore, and learn about the world. Lucy and Sue went to Scotland and worked on a farm. Then they heard about jobs in New Zealand, so they went there.

In New Zealand, Lucy worked with tourists who hiked in the mountains. One of the other guides was Tom, an Australian photographer. The couple fell in love and got married. Now they have their own shop and studio where they sell Lucy’s paintings and Tom’s photographs. Lucy even teaches art classes!
