China Canuck
Author
61, going on 18. Got rid of all my crap in Canada five years ago and moved to China after being offered a teaching position at an international school in Wuhan. Love traveling around Asia and visiting other parts of China. Have toured by motorcycle across much of Canada and the US, 50,000 km worth. Will retire to Thailand in another year and continue my quest at seeing the rest of the world.
