Hi! I am Olivia.I became a member of the Travelling Bears in July 2001
when this nice colleague of Poul, Jesper, bought me as a gift on Ulysses, the world's largest ferry.
I am the only female bear around here, so it's a bit troublesome sometimes. You know, male bears
are a bit ignorant after all. We could do with some more female bears in order to raise the standard.
A bit of discipline wouldn't harm, and could you imagine any male bear taking the responsibility?
McBear looks shocked if I mention words like cleaning and hard work. And Roger...? He always starts
talking about the Dublin Marathon or his books and movies!
Ah, well, he means no harm, he's just a bit
bigheaded! And I like McBear because of his work for TA rights.
Name: Olivia of Ulysses
Origin: China - like so many other TA's.
Baptised: No, but Jesper bought me on July 17th 2001 just outside the port of Dublin
Best friend: Oh, I have a lot of friends, no particular best friend
Likes: A nice a cosy evening - and I like travelling!
Dislikes: Bragging bears - oh and mess everywhere
Skills:
Well, I am intelligent, I have a bright head - and I am good at discussions.... just ask Angus and Barnaby
Travelling Experiences:
Before Finglas I crossed the Irish Sea so many times I lost count long ago
In January 2002 I was on Bornholm, the most eastern part of Denmark
I was in the USA from the east coast to the west coast in July and August 2002
In January 2004 I was in Kitzbühel in Austria
In July-August 2004 I was in Tunisia with McBear, Roger, Tom, Barnaby and Irving
And like the other TA's, I have been to so many places in Ireland
Tom and I are enjoying the sun in the garden in Frances's house.
