Canuckian in the US
Hello everyone!
Welp, let's see here. Questionnaire first since that's easy enough:
How did you hear about frugal village? -- Google search
What interests you here? -- debt advice, learning to go frugal, learning to live under my perceived means
What will you contribute? -- I always try to contribute wherever I am
Do you know any other members here? -- Nope but one day I will
How many kids? Ages? -- no kids (yet) but one furrkid (does that count??) We lost 3 furrkids over the last 13 months so she's kinda important to us (even if she's cranky and picky in her old age).
Tell us about yourself. -- Let's see. How much do you want to know??
LOL.. I figure I have a decent sense of humor. I'm pretty easy going and laid back, willing to offer a hand when I can. I am a vegan.
I'm technical trainer for a prominent software company (no, not M$) and travel a bit (I have Ottawa, Orlando, San Fran in my immediate future). I live with my g/f (we've been together nearly 3 years now). I love photography, writing blogs, reading, movies, geeky toys and quiet life (weird, I know, for someone in NYC).
Hrmm...
Oh ya. I'm a trans guy. I'm pretty open about that and will answer most questions about it.
Do you own any pets? -- see above about kids
Occupation? Technical Trainer
Married or single? Other
Interests and hobbies? (when I can) long distance bicycle touring, reading, movies, learning
What else would you like to know?

Aloha from Hawaii!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
