CURRENT MISSION

Dig a little deeper

ABOUT ME

After working for several years as a cycling tour guide in Europe I returned to Canada and the US, worked at Microsoft, Expedia and several smaller companies, and now work in venture capital and travel mostly when my kids are on school breaks. A little activity and fresh air combined with a little city time, that's my idea of a great travel experience.

PHILOSOPHY

I do my best to stay in the present tense.
