There's actually more places than that ainge - I had a bit 'o the wander lust when I was younger.

I had wanted to see the north since I was about 15 so one day after finishing school I sold pretty well everything I owned (everything that was left fit in a duffle bag), bought a ticket to Winnipeg with the proceeds, and me, and my duffle bag, walked into the Hudsons Bay Company head office looking for a job trading furs in the Arctic :-)

.... the rest, as they say, is history.
