So a new chapter begins. I moved to Toronto initially and stayed there for about a year. Moving from London to Toronto was an anti-climax, just another big city. Definitely doesn't compare to London though in terms of arts & culture and the English "pub" culture. I can't really describe it, but those that have experienced it know what I'm talking about.
Whilst in Toronto, I met my girlfriend (Angela) at the time. We decided to buy a minivan and travel across Canada. The plan was to leave mid June 2002 and take the summer off to camp, hike & mountain bike as we went along. Wow, what an amazing country. We spent a week just between Jasper and Banff. Loved the turquoise lakes and the snow capped mountains, even in mid-summer.

We finally arrive in Vancouver, British Columbia and settle down and expand our family. That's Echo, our Golden Retriver.
We buy our first home together in 2004 and get married in May 2005. The plan was to go to Peru for our honeymoon the following year. Yes, not your typical honeymoon, but we were planning to backpack across the country and do a 4 day hike to Machu Picchu.
Peru was my fist experience to South America and I want to go back. I hadn't travelled since coming to Canada and I guess once you get the "bug" it doesn't leave. I'll let some pics express the beauty of this ancient country.
