about me

I’m Mike, a gay explorer of life’s uncharted paths.

Growing up gay in rural Canada, I kept my sexuality hidden for years. I finally came out in my mid twenties. Yet, I still found myself navigating dual identities and shifting who I was depending on the context I found myself in. It wasn’t until my mid thirties, fresh from a divorce, that I started to fully embrace my true self while living on a tropical island in Thailand—the place that really kick started my journey of self-discovery.

Wherever you are on your journey, I hope this space offers you insight, reflection, and a sense of belonging. Welcome to the uncharted.
