Have you noticed there are many people joining this site and they do not say what country they live in. I am from the UK and try to note how many of us from the UK are on this site as I'd like to have a local pen Friend in the same position as me. :ukflag;

I was born and grew up in Jamaica to a father with an American passport and a mother with a British passport.  I live in Canada but have also lived a couple of years in France and I have dual American/Canadian citizenship.  My deepest "patriotism" is to planet Earth.  I have mostly Scottish and English ancestry (some Irish side notes) with deep Jamaican roots (10 generations there), a Canadian soul and French tendencies.  Simply said, I'm a mutt, living in Canada.
