About me
East Coast Canadian who’s spent the last 12 years as a perpetual university student (history, politics, religion) and traveler. Over the years I’ve lived in Australia, New Zealand, England, Japan, Kenya, across Canada, and now Hong Kong. I have also visited many parts of Asia, South America, and Europe.
I’ve now finally finished my extended university career and I’m working in my first real teaching position as a history teacher (British, Chinese & American) at an international school in Hong Kong.
