About me
Living for adventure has lead me to visit more off the beaten path places than those that draw crowds of tourists every year. I was bored in Paris, but entranced by Kosice, Slovakia. Walking around Rome was fine, but a 10K race through Reykjavik followed by a climb up a glacier was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had. I’ve lived in Ukraine, Russia and Austria, as well as my native Canada.Recent activity
