Sometimes it takes exploring the world to appreciate what you have right in front of you.

I really enjoyed getting to know @janamebillie while creating this film for the We Saved You a Seat campaign.

Born and raised in Saskatoon, Jana spent 26 years running her family's flower shop on Broadway after stepping in to help her mom. What wasn't originally part of her plan became some of the best years of her life.
Now retired, she's embracing travel, pushing herself outside her comfort zone and experiencing different cultures around the world.

But what I really loved about her story was how all that exploring has only deepened her appreciation for home.
There's something about travelling that changes the way you see things. You experience different ways of living, meet new people and come home with a different perspective on the place you've always known.

And sometimes you realize just how much that place means to you.

As Jana puts it, "Saskatoon is where my family is. It's where I belong. It is home."
