Testimonials

“Penny Zibula certainly does live by the philosophy that “there’s more than one way to travel and ‘see’ the world.” I watched as she interacted with artists, restauranteurs, brewers, glassblowers, and others and she was the perfect visitor – curious, engaging, excited to try new things, and someone who truly seemed to appreciate and savor each experience. Along the way, those partners she visited and I learned a lot about our own perceptions and how we interact with others and the world. And how we “see” the very things we’re all so passionate about. Of course, in addition to her being such a delightful person to be around, Penny’s writing is excellent and her articles have been some of the best we’ve had. Add in Simon’s wonderful photography and equal enthusiasm, and Otto’s charm and you have a media visit you will long remember.”

“Thank you for this lovely article, Penny! I honestly think it’s one of the best written articles I’ve seen on our Twain sites.”

“Excellent story! Thank you for writing such a wonderful piece. I am excited to share this with our Partners & our team at the bureau.”

“Hello Penny, My boss sent me the link to your blog so I could write an article about the great review you gave St-Hubert restaurants and I had no idea what was awaiting me as I clicked on the link! What a wonderful blog you have and what an amazing life you lead! Aside from sharing your love of writing AND traveling (I have been Lucky enough to see many places), I also have a deep love of animals and what a joy it was to read about your fantastic four-legged friends and partners! I will most surely keep reading your blog with much interest and although I now live in the suburbs (after living in other countries for 10 years) and rarely make it to down-town Montréal, I just might have to take my daughter to St-Viateur for their amazing bagels I used to have as a teenager! Thanks for reminding me just how heavenly they are! Congratulations on following your passion and living your life to the fullest! You are an inspiration! Sincerely, Anne”
