ABOUT ME

Ryan - Canadian - 27 years old. Frida - Swedish - 24 years old.
We met while backpacking through Thailand in spring of 2007 and we have been together ever since. For two years we lived together in the beautiful Canadian city of Victoria B.C.
After two years we decided it was time to quit our jobs, sell all our stuff and we bought one way tickets to Thailand. We backpacked in S.E. Asia for the 5 months then spent 4 months in Europe. Came back to Vic and we are saving up for the next adventure - Australia and New Zealand!
