Here goes - I'm a Canadian teaching at a high school here in Neuchatel, Switzerland (I know, not really Geneva, but I’m only an hour or so away by train). I've lived and traveled in quite a few places, and have succeeded in humiliating myself, in some form or another, in nearly all of them.

I'm a pretty avid photographer, read a lot, enjoy mountain biking, nature, travel. I've been told I can hold my end in a conversation (despite the lame effort I am displaying here), and enjoy a good laugh (who doesn't I suppose). I'm a laid back, easy going type of guy who finds, more often than not, the way to deal with the curveballs life can throw at you is to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Why should you get to know me? Well, I guarantee if you ever need a useless fact, or a story about why you shouldn't play poker while drinking a drugged coke with a bi-sexual Thai gem dealer in Bali, then I'm your man.

What am I looking for? People to have a coffee and a laugh with. People interested in travel and new experiences. People who read would be nice. Getting out, having some fun, intelligent conversation. It's not incredibly easy to meet new people in Switzerland, especially with the quality of my French (improving, but still a source of fear among unsuspecting francophones), so I'm simply interested in adding some new friendships. Come on, let's be friends. You know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it.

Je parle Francais un peu. Il n'est pas bon Fran?ais, mais j'essaye, et continue ? apprendre. Si vous ?tes patient, vous me comprendrez.
