About

An avid reader since early childhood, Irene Pylypec daydreamed of travel to foreign lands while tending sheep under the expansive living skies of the Canadian prairie.

She is passionate about travel, having caught the travel bug in the mid-seventies when she backpacked solo throughout the UK and Ireland. She’s a firm believer that to truly understand the world’s peoples and their culture, one must live and work in that unfamiliar environment. This belief took her on a journey to countries as diverse as Soviet Ukraine, England, Hong Kong and Mexico. Those travel experiences, as well as her formal education and workplace training, provided and continues to provide the needed fodder for narrative non-fiction storytelling.

Irene is a storyteller. She’s an indie author, blogger, graphic designer/illustrator, ESL teacher, reader of books, former proofreader and avid gardener.

Oh…and she loves fine wine. And chocolate.

To date, she has published three memoirs which are available for purchase from Amazon. To read samples, check out Squatter in London English Teacher Mexico and Tales 44 Trail.
