Where I've Lived

Canada

Home. Born in Toronto (Ontario). Also lived in Vancouver (BC) and Halifax (Nova Scotia), with time in Iqaluit (Nunavut). The north shaped early years. Cold, honest, grounded.

Multi-year base

South Korea

Teaching English in Seoul. Fast internet, faster culture. Gaming culture peak. Urban density and tech everywhere.

Teaching era

Taiwan

Island living. Taipei's night markets and mountain escapes. Friendly culture, incredible food. Made friends that lasted.

Teaching & travel

Mexico

Lived post-lockdown. Mérida and beyond. World opened back up. Reoriented around globe-trotting mindset.

Reset period

Thailand

Bangkok. Southeast Asian hub. Professional career resumed. Gaming communities, startup energy, accessibility everywhere.

SEA chapter

Plus…

Extended time in Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Colombia, Nicaragua, and countless others. Workations and road trips across multiple continents.
