Hey everyone! Here at Webber’s Lodges it’s been decided to show you the face behind some of the stories on our blog. You know, I’m the one who adds the quirky little comments, interviews the guests and always has a lot to say.
I am the third daughter of Jeanne, one of Doug Webber’s daughters and my name is Allison Reimer. I’m 16 years old and I’ve never missed a year at the lodges. Actually, I’d never want to miss an opportunity to be in this paradise.
I was raised in Churchill, Manitoba until I was 10 years old and enjoyed every minute of the opportunity to be outdoors in the lovely unpolluted Arctic air and see the magnificent white beasts that roam the North. Every summer I work at North Knife Lake Lodge (fishing) and Seal River Heritage Lodge, where my parents run Churchill Wild polar bear ecotours.
I have a dream job that allows me to go outdoors and meet amazing people from all over the world. Plus I get to go fishing for northern pike and trout then go swimming with Beluga Whales.
My childhood has pretty much all-over rocked. I love writing and I love talking to people and hearing stories about their trips and just getting to know them. This made me the perfect candidate when my mom wanted someone to write for the blog and for our Facebook page (go “Like” us).
I talk to guests and ask them about their daily adventures at our lodges. I love to know what’s going on so I can share the excitement. It helps me appreciate where I am and reminds me that things I see as a daily occurrence are often the most exciting first-time experiences for our guests.
It keeps it very real and alive for me. I just love to be out here in the wilderness, away from the stresses of teen angst and all that high school stuff. It’s a great opportunity to build relationships with family and make new friends while working!
Hope you enjoy the stories!
Allison
