CURRENT MISSION Relocated to Kigali, Rwanda. Will be here for a few years. ABOUT ME Hello. I am a 52 year old man from Ottawa, Canada. I am a high school teacher. I have lived in various countries, including Japan, Ecuador, Scotland, Swaziland, Israel and the Marshall Islands. I would like to keep seeing the world, but in a stay-and-travel sense. I walked the Camino in September 2023 (the Camino Frances- 790km). I took the year off. That was a full year of adventure! I rarely have a glass of wine. I definitely don't smoke. I try to be a role-model for my students. PHILOSOPHY I believe that people are generally good, and except for a few bad apples, most of us are just trying to learn a little more about the rest of us. My personal motto is 十人十色 (ju nin to iro), which translates literally to ten people ten colours. It can mean a lot of things, but for me, it means that we are all living on the same planet and though we may all disagree, we need to figure out a way to co-exist. There is strength in diversity.
