I fell in love with travelling on a backpacking trip to Australia in 2014. What was meant to be a one-off trip abroad turned my life right-side up and opened my eyes to an immense world of possibilities beyond a Monday to Friday 9-5.
Since that trip, my life has revolved around travel. I went back to school and received a degree in International Development and a Teaching English as a Foreign Language certificate. After graduation, I set off again in 2019 and aside from a couple stopovers in Winnipeg cued by pandemic restrictions, I’ve been on the road ever since.
Aside from travel, my passions in life include sport, sharing laughs with friends old and new, and trying to understand the world. I’ve always loved geography, and travelling has taught me invaluable lessons about humanity and the way we live.
My immediate goals for this website are to improve and practice my writing skills, have a medium where I can direct potential clients, and give you a trusted, entertaining voice on travel and current events. I hope my writing and this website can provide you with amusement and value. At the very least, have a laugh at my expense while you’re here.
I’m Andrew from Winnipeg, nice to meet you.
