User:Petra of Vancouver

My real name is Petra Mehner and I live in the outskirts of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I work in the Human Resources department of a local news tv station, Global BC Television. The broadcast industry is constantly changing and I can easily see a shift from watching news on television sets to computer monitors, ipods, blackberries and cellphones. Who knows, maybe our talents or anchors will soon be replaced by computerized graphics. They would never have to hand in timesheets, sign agreements, or call in sick.

My interests include traveling, photography, golfing, hiking, painting, going to pubs and restaurants with friends.

Last May I had traveled to Germany, Austria and Czech Republic where I had visited the following cities: Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, and Graz. I took over 40 rolls of film with my camera. I have since switched to a digital camera where I can easily upload the photos to my computer then into my web albums. I am already looking forward to my next big trip in 2007, I just haven't decided where yet.
