About Jmez:

Im a focused individual, and Im focused on long term travel at the moment.

After crossing Canada from Toronto to Vancouver I got hooked on the fun.
After a year and a half in Vancouver, sold everything, and after a brief trip home to visit my family, I bought a ticket through L.A., Fiji, NZ to Oz for a year working holiday.

Arrived broke, with $130 AU, set out to get work and made my way down the east coast from Brizzy to Tazzy over the year. Not exactly checked off in my books, I missed alot, but I had alot of fun working different places just to survive that year! Excellent experience, plus I got my days in for the 2nd year, which Im banking for another year.

Back in Canada a year now. After hitching from Vancouver back to Toronto to see the folks for the summer, I sacraficed my life to work in an Oilsands camp in the north to save money for next year. 70-84 hour work weeks for the last 7 months! Im exhausted, and contained, living within 200m from my bed to the kitchen I work in! Hard life, but its well worth it for the year to come!

Plans are to hitch hike and bus my way though every connecting country south of the Canadian border.
Plans are coming together, been learning spanish for almost 6 months now, gear is ready, just working and saving extra cash.
Probably going this one alone, too many friends have claimed they want to come, too few have done anything to make an effort to make it happen.. as it goes I guess, but no worries, solo has its advantages! =)

Hobbies:

Djíng breaks and DnB, Camping, Writing, Partying, working

Favourite places:

Oh so many for so many reasons, top of the list: Naviti in the Yasawas, Fiji; Tasmania, AU; Melbourne; Vancouver and surrounding area; Byron Bay, AU;
