A Vernon woman won a trip of a lifetime and she can91裸聊视频檛 wait to share it with all of you.

Cindy Keith won an all-expenses paid, 11-day trip to China through Black Press Media and the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and she91裸聊视频檚 set to document her experience and share it with you.

The Vernon resident was chosen out of applicants from across the province.

91裸聊视频淚 never win anything so I was blown away,91裸聊视频� said Keith. 91裸聊视频淚t is an amazing trip.91裸聊视频�

Keith saw the small ad about the contest in the travel pages of the Vernon Morning Star in November and immediately knew she wanted to apply.

91裸聊视频淭he ad asked me to explain why I should go to China,91裸聊视频� said Keith.

91裸聊视频淚t so resonated with me as I lived in China 22 years ago. I was based out of Asia working with doctors without borders and the Red Cross as a physiotherapist.

91裸聊视频淚 was doing a lot of land-mine amputee and wound care stuff. I was based out of Hong Kong for two years and spent time in Tibet as well, before backpacking through mainland China.91裸聊视频�

Having been to the four major areas they will be visiting, Keith cannot wait to see how the country has changed.

91裸聊视频淚n my entry I reflected on how different rural communist China was from the fast-growing capitalist cities, it was quite striking. It was an incredible experience for me then,91裸聊视频� said Keith.

91裸聊视频淪o, I just loved the idea of it. Flipping back to Asia, it was so attractive to me. I wasn91裸聊视频檛 even thinking of winning at first, I just wanted to sit down and write out my feelings of China and why I found it so fascinating.91裸聊视频�

She spent five years away from Canada before moving back to Toronto nearly 20 years ago. She moved to Vernon 10 years ago for work and got married on Silver Star this winter.

Because of this, Keith was an Ecclestone when she first won, but took her husband91裸聊视频檚 name. A wonderful wedding day but a slight headache as a passport with her new legal name was required quickly to apply for a Visa to China and ensure she got to go on the trip.

The 11-day trip departs April 6, 2017 and includes airfare, hotels, guides, tours and meals. The 91裸聊视频淏loggers dream trip91裸聊视频� is valued at $2,500.

She said she is really looking forward to going on the trip with Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Allan Asaph as he has been on the trip three times before and has a lot of knowledge and experience to share with her.

91裸聊视频淗e has already been really helpful,91裸聊视频� said Keith. 91裸聊视频淚 am really looking forward to this. I loved the Great Wall, that was a happy place for me. When I was in Xi91裸聊视频檃n you weren91裸聊视频檛 allow to photograph the Terracotta Army and you are now, so I am really looking forward to seeing that.

91裸聊视频淯nfortunately there is a lot more pollution now, I am not looking forward to that, but I am really looking forward to having eyes 22 years later on it.

91裸聊视频淚 bet it will feel busier, more modern. It will be a reminder and a new experience in so many different ways.91裸聊视频�
