I went to a 5 day training course with Cuso International to prepare for my upcoming volunteer engagement in Kingston, Jamaica. I knew very little about the world of International Development, so the training was useful. Plus I got a chance to see a little more of Ottawa. Ottawa it is the capital city of Canada and a big place for government and international relations. The city is known for the Rideau Canal which turns into the largest skating rink in the world during the winter. Luckily, I experienced beautiful spring climates and clear skies because adjusting to the non-profit, international development world was enough.
In
my own busy bubble prior to training, I remember jotting down my hotel, Embassy,
and consciously putting my Hilton Gold card in my wallet so I can attach status to the reservation. Little did I know that the Embassy Hotel was not a
Hilton branded partner and would be more of a reminder of my student hostel
days than my travelling consultant ones. The accommodations were clean and
convenient, but I will have to get used to a world with no room upgrades.
