CURRENT MISSION

Learning to bake bread good enough for Germany.

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from the UK, but I met and married a Canadian, which goes a long way towards explaining what I'm doing in Grande Prairie.

I studied languages at university then spent a year in China learning Mandarin. I often wish I'd never left, but the Canadian wilderness was just too tempting: so here I am, though I don't get to go camping as often as I'd like.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a topic definitely best discussed over a beer.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I hiked from the Salween to the Mekong river valley in the rainy season, without a map, equipped with a $10 tent, a few eggs, a potato, and a packet of instant noodles.

Also, I cycled into Tibet illegally. But that's not as cool as it sounds.
