This page is under continual construction. I hope to type in some more travel
diary entries and find some that are hidden in the depths of old journals,
but for now, expect place holders and links to the official sites
for places for which I haven't yet recorded my own impressions.
Organised in chronological order, as best as I can remember. I was born in
1972 in Chicoutimi, Quebec, Canada when my father was posted to Air Force Base
Bagottville, and haven't stopped travelling around since. :)
