About Marijke
Marijke Vroomen-Durning started her professional career as a registered nurse and then gradually moved into health and medical writing. She loves (just about) every minute of her freelance life but is also always looking for new things to do. She has had work published in magazines, text books, and on websites.
When the idea for citiesonthecheap.com came about, Marijke did what she almost always does: she jumped in feet first. As a life-long resident of Montreal and having raised her three children, with the help of her husband who is also a life long Montrealer, she decided that this was a much needed project for the Montreal area.
We welcome any and all suggestions for inexpensive activities in Montreal, so if you have something to share, please send an email to Marijke/Montreal On The Cheap.
If you’d like to learn more about Marijke, including how to say her name, her website Medhealthwriter.com describes her professional work.
She also maintains a few blogs, two personal ones, and now instead of three that she wrote for b5media (Help My Hurt, Womb Within, and Cancer Commentary), she writes for the general health blog at the new b5media Blisstree.com site.
