ABOUT ME

Honest, easygoing and inquisitive, I'm friendly, if a bit eccentric. I enjoy learning about other cultures and languages and can't get enough of travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I don't believe in organized religion. I do believe in treating others as you wish to be treated and respecting the earth and our fellow creatures. I'm alive to have a human experience and I would like the world to be a better place for my time spent here.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite movies are mostly from the 80's and 90's. I prefer shows that have solid tasteful writing, to ones that try to win you over with splashy special effects and unnecessary drama.

As for music, my tastes are pretty varied. I listen to a lot of different things. Mostly I just download whatever I hear and like in other people's play lists, on the radio, or in movies.

I don't do a lot of reading, but my favorite book is "Scrambles Amongst The Alps" by Edward Whymper. Jean M. Auel's "Clan of The Cave Bear" series was good too. My last read was "Cradle To Cradle" by William McDonough & Michael Braungart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a week living at Green Island lighthouse station near Prince Rupert BC

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to bake bread by hand from scratch, or how to fix/service vintage English 3-speed bicycles. I'm not a a great singer, but I have a few songs in my repertoire that I sometimes like to share. I'm no historian, but I know a fair bit about Edmonton's history, so I can point out some interesting land marks and tell you about them when we are out and about. I'm always happy to share my hobbies and interests with others and enjoy when they share theirs with me.
