Well, I don't live up to you guys, but I'll give it a go...

How old are you? 37

How many countries have you been too? 14

Most exotic location? Whitsunday Islands, Australia

Reason you travel? See the world, boring travel for business

Place you would never go back to? Northern Territory, Australia. I would consider going back to Uluru, but I'd fly directly in and out.

Place you cannot wait to go again? Berlin, Paris, Sydney

Place you've been that nobody goes too? The Northern Territory in Australia and the Northwest Territories in Canada.

Circumnavigated the world, what direction? Nope. Big gap between Europe and Australia.

Continents? North America, Europe, Australia

Where would you live? Sydney, Munich, San Diego.

Next Trip? Don't know. Probably Ottawa for work, but that doesn't count. Thinking of hitting Oktoberfest next year.

All inclusives (yah or nay)? Nay.

Place you've been but didn't go for the reason everybody else goes for? Can't really think of any. I went to Seattle for Wrestlemania, but still did all the other touristy stuff. I went to Orlando for work one time, but still found time to hit up Disney World and Universal.

Worst driving and were you driving? Florence, Italy - not driving. I constantly get lost driving around Ottawa and Edmonton.

Longest you've been away? 5 weeks in Australia

Biggest surprise? Paris, and how friendly the people in NYC were.

Appreciate home more having left? Yes.

Still broke from your travels? No. I've recovered.

The night you probably should have not made it home safe? Prague. Czech cops don't speak English.

Been robbed? Thankfully, no. I was pickpocketed on a packed Subway car in Rome, but all I had in my pocket was a map, which was lying on the floor of the train as I got off.

Name that event you were at: Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto and 19 in Seattle. Game 6 of the Flames-Red Wings series in 2004 - I know it was in Calgary, but it was still a great event.

Name that restaurant: Sbarro in Times Square. Spectacular.
