Genevieve Latour

Age:   31

Lifestyle:  Being a Media & Community Affairs Manager for Canada Post,
each day is filled with surprises. My friends call me 'a tornado' because I always try to optimize my time and do multiple things at once. I come from Montreal and I have been living in Halifax for over a year now, and I really like it. I like to keep myself busy: life is just too short. These days, I am attending a wine introduction course. Last year,

I did some Spanish lessons. In 2008, I would like to learn American Sign Language. I also like to travel, at least once or twice a year. In 2007, I have participated to a rally in Bolivia, and in 2006, a rally in the desert of Morocco. Thank God, my husband is really supportive of all my different projects. You have guessed right: I don't have any children yet.

Goal:   To improve my eating habits (integrate more whole grain to my diet), and to complete the half marathon, no matter how long it will take !
