A Canadian at Liberty

It's on! We’re past the ‘point of no return.’ On May 4th, my sabbatical continues as I depart on The Great Odyssey. For the next several months, I’ll be roaming North Africa and Europe, living life at liberty and experiencing everything the Old World can throw at me.

I’ll visit the ancestral MacPherson lands in the Scottish highlands; trek into the Moroccan Sahara on camel and sleep under the stars with Berber nomads; learn how to cook regional specialties in places like Fes, Budapest, Florence and Bologna; cross the ancient path of Odysseus and the Sirens in Capri; follow in the footsteps of Hemingway in Pamplona (and hopefully emerge unscathed!); and maybe even watch Tiger cross the Swilcan bridge on his way to an Open Championship at St. Andrews.
