Location Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Introduction Since graduating the University of Western Ontario with a degree in English literature and philosophy, I've spent the last ten years traveling the world, visiting more than thirty countries on six continents. I've lived in Canada, the United States, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. What I enjoy most about traveling: meeting new people, checking out different cultures, and trying whatever's the oddest thing on the menu. Visit me at my website www.jeremybatesbooks.com.
