Linda Viduka

 

Linda is in her first year of the Professional Writing Program at Algonquin College. To amuse herself during the long, cold winter months, she has decided to take day trips to small towns and villages outside of Ottawa and write about her experiences in her blog.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her nieces, who she’s steadily transforming into four little divas. She also enjoys yoga, cooking, and after living in Mexico for two years, she is now fond of all things Spanish. (i.e. language, music, cuisine, etc.)
