A Canadian native, Joan grew up in the hills of NE India along with her eight siblings. After her parents failed to arrange her marriage she returned to Toronto, cut off her braids and by a stroke of luck was accepted into Ryerson University's Nursing program to discover that there wasn't a job in the entire country for her that year. She eventually landed on her feet in the most beautiful city in the world, Charleston, SC.
Joan roams the historic peninsula for a few brisk miles daily carrying her camera.
Formerly "Walk this Way" the blog won 2nd Best Canadian Art/Photo Blog and in 2009 the Charleston City Paper's Best Local Interest Blog award.
After a career as a Labour & Delivery nurse, Joan is Director of Volunteers for a large health system in Charleston.
