When I first started working at the athletes village in Whistler is when I heard that the staff in the blue jackets (me included) were referred to by the public as “the smurfs”. I thought that was really cute! The ironic thing about that is I just so happened to have a smurf with me. When I travel, I bring along a little 1 inch toy smurf . I photograph him with all the people and places I encounter on my adventures. Then I create story books for my 5 year old niece who is back home in Ontario.
My smurf got so popular in the athletes village everyone wanted a picture taken with him and he even made the athletes village newsletter!!
Here is the link to my Fan Page on Facebook.
