I love to travel the world, meet people and learn about cultures along the way . My goal is to travel to all 195 countries in my lifetime. I approach life with the philosophy that "Knowledge is Power" and I'm always on the lookout for absorbing knowledge through books, travels, events, and people.
CURRENT MISSION I am happily retired and fortunate to be healthy and active. I like Rick Mercer's philosophy: have fun but make a difference. Among other interests, I volunteer with the East Coast Trail Association and the Crow's Nest Officers' Club (a WWII national historic site). I often find myself as busy now as when I was working full-time. ABOUT ME My plan was to take one year off to travel after graduating from university. That turned into twelve years of a vagabond lifestyle. As a result, I am well-traveled, well-read and very interested in the wide, wide world that surrounds us. After my travels, I worked as a fisheries observer on the North Atlantic and served as a naval officer with Canada's Reserve Force.
CURRENT MISSION To become an upstanding citizen of somewhere or other. ABOUT ME Grew up in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, and have since lived in Montreal, Toronto and various places in Korea. I like poetry, languages, movies, small acts of kindness and dumb jokes. I try every day to be as full of wonder at the world as a child. PHILOSOPHY Give everyone a fair shake, have as much fun as possible without forgetting the immensity of human suffering in the world, try not to be a coward, failing that try to have a sense of humour about your cowardice, and finally: if equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me.
We both grew up on the west coast of Newfoundland in the small community of Stephenville. After moving to the capital city, St. John's for University we decided to stay. We're an outdoorsy couple who spends the majority of time with our little yorkies, Poppy and Rose.
