CURRENT MISSION

After ten years of broadening horizons and exploring the vastness and richness of our world.. perhaps a little stability for just a little while :)

ABOUT ME

I worked in London for a couple of years, then was in Australia for a bit (with a trip to China) before finding myself in Canada where I'm now married and (temporarily) settled. I like reading books and maps, and then going places to taste the experience for myself. I like well-designed things. I write, though very little lately. I love the beach and the wind. I don't eat a lot of meat. I like to be out in nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Walk a mile in another person's shoes

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Went up to Everest base camp on the Tibet side and stayed the night. It was pretty cold and I think I was starting to get altitude sickness, but the view was spectacular.
