On the way to the drop zone (front-right).
I live in Vancouver and work at Fortinet Technologies [1] where I write anti-virus software for a living. I grew up in Victoria, British Columbia and graduated from the University of Victoria. I'm interested in uses of technology in human rights and would love to one day work on something like the Martus Project.[2] My name is Paul.

My primary interest in travel is in interacting with different cultures, and being able to live every day life in a whole different way. Growing up, I was fortunate to be able to live in Fiji for two years. More recently, I worked in Namibia for a year with a local human rights organization (developing databases of course).[3] I have travlled extensively in Southern Africa, somewhat in Europe, Japan, a lot in the South Pacific, throughout western North America and an amazing ten days in the United Arab Emirates. Also to more obscure places like Liechtenstein and Kiribati.

My current extra-Wikitravel amusements include utlimate, ballroom dancing, and various duties as a member of the Board of FIPA.[4] I'm also learning Mandarin. Maybe one day I'll be fluent enough to help out with the Chinese Wikitravel Expedition!

What does it mean for Wikitravel to slap itself around with a large trout?
