Thanks to the nomadic gene embedded in my DNA I left Canada in 2002 in pursuit of a higher education, wider worldview, and place to call home. Since that time, I have lived in Denmark, the DRC, India, Viet Nam, Germany, Thailand, Belgium, Rwanda, United States, Egypt, and France—and travelled extensively in 99+ countries on six continents.

I managed to get the education and the world view but still haven’t found home yet.

To maintain my sanity in the face of all this running around I spend an absurd amount of time sucking wind in the boxing ring or exploring asanas on my yoga mat.

Seriously, the relationship I have with my Manduka and boxing gloves borders on the obscene.
