Hello and thank you for stopping by.
I live in Toronto but sometimes I travel to Northern Ontario for work. A lot of pictures in my profile are from those trips.  I enjoy hiking and I also love to travel. I have been usually visiting destination with rich history but nature tourism is what I'm planning to do more these days. I'm also planning to do more photography.
I was learning German but that's on hold. Maybe I start it again in future. I've been learning French for many years but with a very slow progress:)
I see lots of interesting profiles here....so I'm looking forward to finding new friends and to interesting conversation.

please don't send emails that only says: "hi!" or just "how are you?" I don't reply to those messages or to messages from members with really no profile. It is the same with messages that start with invitation for contacting a personal email or a Skype address. 
I would love to hear from pen pals who enjoy travel and photography with their experiences, stories and advices. Having said that, I'm not excluding anyone who enjoys a good conversation and who shares some interests with me.  Oh, I almost forgot!:-) a lot of times I appear to be online but I'm really not actively online and just forgot to log out so please don't be offended if I'm late in my reply.

I love many quote by Voltair...he's the most rational man ever lived...
here are just a few:
1. “Every man is guilty of all the good he didn’t do.”
(Man and woman 😊)
2. “Paradise is where I am”
3. “Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.”
4. “When it comes to money, everybody is of the same religion.”
5. “It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.”(very true:-))
6. “Common sense is not so common.” (True again! :-))
7. “Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.”
8. “It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.”
9.“Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well when we are miserable.”
10. “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
11.“The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood.”
12. “The art of medicine consist of amusing the patient while nature take it’s course” (My all time favourite medicine related quote:-))
“Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.”
― Andre Gide
