ABOUT ME

I live in Winnipeg but am travelling New Zealand, Asia and Canada (for one year!) at the moment with my partner Brad (34). I love to speak French, play the uke, ride my bike, volunteer in human rights, hike.

Brad's an Air Traffic Controller back home on sabbatical. He's got an eclectic set of interests... from war history to punk music to beer label collections.
