Hey, I'm Dino! I'm a 37 year old guy who grew up in Vancouver, Canada. In 2009, I got itchy feet and left Canada for what I thought would be a short backpacking trip and that turned into more than a decade of travelling and living around the world. I returned to Canada at the beginning of 2021 and have been living here since.. for now.. During my travels I became interested in and passionate about teaching English as a foreign language, and pursued that in a few countries until I eventually opened my own online school. 7 years later, that school has closed and I am taking a sabbatical. I spend much of my time reading, watching movies, making music, and working on small projects around the house. I love to cook, watch standup comedy, hike, camp, travel, and just spend time with my wife and friends.
