CURRENT MISSION

To experience as many cultures in the world as possible.

ABOUT ME

I live life to the fullest, enjoy new cultures and people, keep fit through my outdoor recreational activities and just plain hard work at the gym, and family, friends and travel are the most important part of my life. I retired after working 42 years in Human Resources. I am honest, passionate about life and living, adventurous, and independent.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

My life has been enriched by my travel to 81 countries, finding similarities and differences in those countries (more similar than different I have found). I have climbed major mountains, mushed my own dog sled team, cycled in foreign countries and canoed wilderness lakes/rivers in Canada. I have seen most of the natural wonders of the world and most of the man made wonders of the world as well. I have been blessed with the ability to enjoy life to the fullest.

教，学，和分享

I learn something from everyone I meet and hopefully through our shared experience they learn from me be it something about life in Canada, my travels to other countries, or inspiration to try something new and the importance of having goals in life.
