The World According to Scurvy
About Scurvy:
I am Sqamish, BC's very own self-proclaimed Genius and I've decided that one day, I am going to save the world. I haven't quite figured out how or when yet, but just be patient and you will see. In the meantime, I survive by roaming around the world and acting like a sarcastic idiot.
My latest adventure has me living in Taiwan, teaching the youth of tomorrow while I attempt to figure out what I'm doing with my life... and how exactly I am going to go about saving the world.
All of my old travel stories from previous adventures have been transferred to this blog, with the exception of a few photos. Postings from my trip to South America can be found in their original form on my 'Solo in South America' blog, for which there is a link below.
I hope you all enjoy reading about me as much as like to talk about myself.

Words to live by:
My favorite words of wisdom by the great Edward Abbey...
Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am-a reluctant enthusiast... a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there.
So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space.
Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators.
I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards.
