I moved to Asia back in the summer of 2003 as one of too many ALTS on the JET programme and i discovered travelblog to be a fun way of sharing my love of adventure and storytelling. For the next four years Hiroshima, domestically considered a city of yakuza and bumpkins, and known abroad as the victim of the A-bomb, became 'home'. My trials, tribulations, elations and escapes were herein documented. In my 30th year i left Japan behind, challenged myself to adventuring through Pakistan, to cross China west to east and north to south, and finally to settle in a 'developing country' (read polluted and corrupt). I prefer to travel solo and I like to commit a fair bit of research before the adventure. Studying the history, religion and art, as well as searching blogs and travel guides for inside scoops makes for a much richer experience, or so I find. Fall 2009, I'm moving to Ottawa, returning to school and hoping to uncover more of Canada's mosaic.
