"Born and raised in Vancouver Canada, I studied Canadian and European history in university before settling into the 9-5 desk job. I could only take that so long before the itchy feet set in and the travel bug bit. I began guiding in the summers, and doing my own travels in the winters. 10 years on, and still loving every minute of life on the road."
