I am American, and I am now living in Canada. I am currently in Cambridge, ON.

About me

I moved from the US to Canada in 2008, leaving everything behind and starting over again, so that I could be with my wife who could not immigrate to the US as we are a same-sex couple.

My birthday is on 5 July, I was born in 1973

My Life in Exile de Facto

Moving to a new place is never easy, and moving to a new country is even more difficult. I didn't want to leave the USA. However, to be with my same-sex partner of over 10 years, I had to make a choice--move to her home country of England, move to Canada where we are legally married, or break up. We chose Canada. This blog details the experiences I've had since moving to Canada, a country that is supposedly so similar to the US, but in reality is vastly different.
