About me...part hippie - part nerd - some other parts.

Current philosophies:
Time is a rubber band.

I enjoy getting lost in books, museums, libraries and galleries. Love vintage shopping and I know where and how to find a good deal.
Food is a big part of my life! If you are vegetarian, eat only meat, vegan or have dietary an/or wallet restrictions, I will probably know the best places in Toronto for you.
Mildy spiritual, a nature person, into Yoga and Qi Gong.
Concerts, festivals, tech events are also places you may find me.

To see a place through the eyes of a tourist is wonderful. To see a place through the eyes of one of it's lovely locals, is a different type of wonderful!

教，学，和分享

In the world before Facebook, travellers were new and strange to local people of a town. While our world has gotten a bit closer after the invention of the telephone and the internet, I feel having a friendly local companion for an afternoon if a warming thought, for both traveller, and companion.

Perspectives are interesting. Like when you walk by something everyday and you don't notice it anymore. But then you walk by it with someone who has never seen anything like it, and it becomes a jubilent conversation... a tale to tell. And, you find yourself narrating to several other friends about how you paused for 15mins at a squirrel eating an acorn in the park. I love that!
