Rising Stars: Meet Valerie Brown

Today we’d like to introduce you to Valerie Brown.

Hi Valerie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Initially, when I started this I was going to talk about my travels throughout the world and encourage others to travel.

But then Covid hit and I couldn’t travel and I thought what can I talk about? So, I decided I was going to make this Val’s Journey and. just decided to see where this would take me.

My goal was to be encouraging and positive to my viewers during the pandemic and also to figure out what I was going to do with my life. Now, I’ve reached over 13,000 followers. I love encouraging and inspiring others. And travel has started again! I love talking about my journeys around the world.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been a pretty smooth road for me. I’ve had a few bumps in the road finding new topics to talk about though. On those days, I fill in with bad jokes and rambling stories.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am an aging, senior flight attendant with Southwest Airlines. I have been in the Airline Industry for 36 years, first with Pan Am World Airway and then Southwest.

I love my job, working with the public and providing excellent customer service.

Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
We have (still) a summer cottage in Bracebridge, Ontario. Every summer, I looked forward to swimming in the Muskoka River, hiking, horseback riding, and reuniting with summer cottage friends from all over Canada.
