TRAVEL NOMAD

By Ronald V Perrier MD

I retired in 2006 at 53 with a dream to see the world. Now over eighteen years later, I have visited all 193 United Nations countries. I believe I am the most travelled Canadian.
I describe my low-cost style of travel using vignettes of travel gone sideways.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
