About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world, one country at a time.

ABOUT ME

I'm a longtime Canadian expat who lives, works, and travels in Asia and beyond. I've been in Asia since 2000. I am returning to Canada within the next 18 - 24 months. My plan is to live in Nova Scotia for half of the year and travel for the remaining six months. My passions include photography, food, and learning about new cultures.

Winter 2016 I traveled to Spain and Portugal. I explored Barcelona, Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve. I highly recommend both countries. There's lots to see and do. The people, the food, and the sites are well worth a short or a long stay (preferably, long!)

At the moment I do not have a couch to offer. However,
I love Korean food and am always happy to have a meal or coffee with anyone visiting Seoul.

Contact me if you'd like to share a coffee or a meal!

PHILOSOPHY

"Now is the only moment we have."
