CURRENT MISSION
To Travel and meet some great folks along the way
ABOUT ME
I am an easy going fella, with a sharp wit and a great sense of humour (so I am told).
I enjoy fine ales, beers and spirits... but I try to behave. hahaha
I have lived in Lake Louise, Alberta, Ottawa ON, Guelph, ON...but born and raised in Brockville, ON.
I have traveled to St. Maarten, Martinique, Barbados, St. Thomas US Vigin Islands, all over upstate New York,Boston USA, Atlanta USA, San Juan Puerto Rico, and many many other places in Canada too!
PHILOSOPHY
Try hard to be positive,try to never say harsh things to people and be polite to everyone, even the ones you really do not like... burning bridges and all that.
