Tim was born to be an outdoorsperson. Raised in rural Ontario with 5 siblings and no neighbors, ‘get outside’ was a familiar parental refrain and where all the action took place. Summer camp in Algonquin Park, canoe trips in Temagami, and a secondary school education that focused on the outdoors, shaped his love for everything outside.
He has lived adventure aplenty while bicycling, kayaking, or hitchhiking in all corners of the world, including but not limited to Canada, Greece, Ireland, Mexico, Nicaragua, the Caribbean jungle, Guatemala, Kenya, Yunnan, China, Laos, India, the Philippines, Thailand, France. I could go on, but you get the drift.
For nearly 30 years, he has lived out of panniers, backpacks, and sea kayaks, returning to Canada for a few months each summer to grab some money and plan the next adventure.
