Dear Heather
Thank you for your submission to the Expedia.ca Life Changing Travel contest.

Whether it was about overcoming adversity, a desire to make a difference in a community or expand an overall life experience, each submission was unique.
We had a goal in mind when creating this program – to highlight and encourage the transformative power of travel. The decision was a difficult one to make and after hours of deliberating,three finalists were selected. Unfortunately, your video submission was not chosen.
We appreciate the time you took to submit your video telling us about your Life Changing Travel adventure and want to thank you again. We hope that you continue to pursue travel as part of your life and enjoy each and every experience.

Best,The Expedia.ca Life Changing Travel Team
Well it looks like I won't be going to Australia. Not anytime soon anyway. I told them that I wanted to go to Australia to get out of my rut and comfort zone. I wanted to go on adventures: sailing, bungee jumping, surfing, skydiving, etc.
I'm pretty disappointed but then again I shouldn't set hopes too high for something that's a bit of a long shot. (And I mean a long shot in the sense that I'm competing against many other people who, at the very least, are equal to me.) No matter what, worth a try. I won't give up yet.

A Buff Heather (That's Not Heather in the Buff - Sorry)
Over the course of the last few years I've been doing certain things 
to help improve my health. Now I admit that until only fairly recently I haven't done too much but something at least. Things I've done include: playing on an Ultimate team (two summers), running, and boxing, which is the only one of those three that I am still doing. I've been boxing twice a week for just over a year now. Also recently I've started weight training. I think most of this interest has been sparked by my co-worker and friend, Paula. She helped a great deal anyway but I think the first spark came from my co-op placement back in my second last year of high school. I had a placement at the Carleton University weight room. For a long time I always thought this placement was kind of useless, as I really felt like I didn't get much out of it (I didn't do much really) but maybe it wasn't. It did, after all, make me somewhat interested in fitness, even if that interest did subside for a few years. Anyway, I feel like I'm back on track now. I'm even considering possibly personal training. I'm no where near ready for personal training anyone right now mind you. I first have to personal train myself.
My biggest downfall on this subject is nutrition. I'd already be so flippin' fit if it weren't for my absolute addiction to eating in general. Seriously, it's a problem.
Other things I'd like to try: Zumba, Capoeira, and/or some other martial art. I'd also consider pole dancing.
On another note, I entered in this travel contest with Expedia just over a week ago and it's about the time where the winner will be decided and not knowing is killing me because I feel like I could win it but I don't really know at all.
