A farm boy from Quebec’s Eastern Townships, who after a decade in trucking started my own business. 37+ yrs experience in business serving the needs of discerning the public, 25+ as a school/charter bus O/O operating for the PVNCC & KPR school boards as well Havergal College, Bishop Strachan School & Great Lakes College of Toronto private schools in Toronto. Working with and learning from Transtario Tours with 60 yrs in the business doing public charters. Have supplied 25+ buses for camp trips to Scouts Canada Scouts Canada, served the Sri Lankan community in Toronto in conjunction with Max2000, transporting the local Mennonite/Amish communities in KawarthaLakes/Peterborough area to their sister communities in the Elmira area gave me extensive experience in working with people of many ethnic origins.

Upon closing my business (Deck-Way Services Ltd), nearly 3 yrs of world travel combined with my past experiences, gave me enough understanding of different cultures that I was comfortable relocating to a Spanish speaking country, opening a Bed & Breakfast/Hostal and marrying a local lady.

5 things I can’t live without:

1) Tropical beach weather

2) Living in a country setting

3) Stimulating conversation with travellers

4) Internet

5)  A good paper book (no Ebooks)

I enjoy travelling on a shoestring with the occasional splurge.

My favourite countries visited (in no particular order) Iceland, Greenland, Mongolia, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia + the US states of Alaska and Hawaii. Of course, El Salvador where I relocated is my favourite.

Favourite modes of travel: trains, ferries, buses, passenger ships with planes only when necessary.

Like historical novels, mystery and thriller books especially Stephen King, Star Trek, action movies, reality TV shows, Mexican, Thai and Salvadorian food.

Also like Palm trees, antique vehicles/farm equipment of all kinds, cows and water buffalo

My hosting style is helping guests learn about my adopted country but giving as much privacy as desired.

Life motto: Learn something new every day and live life to it’s fullest!

My reasons for closeing Rancho Las Brisas,s Facebook page.

Once upon a time, I joined FB under my real name, as time went by I was being stalked by trolls from Trip Advisor so I closed it and opened one under my cat’s name.

More time passed and the trolls returned, this time, from my commenting on CBC articles, then one day a troll snitched that my cat’s name was not my real name, this led to an advisory that access to the account suspended unless I forwarded documentation of my real name.

Now some of these trolls had taken to writing bogus reviews on my B&B which Fascistbook REFUSED to remove.

As Fb had been completely useless in promoting my business with a steady stream of requests money for better promotion + the bogus reviews from the trolls the Fb page was actually a liability, I sent a link to some fictional ID, which enabled me to access my account and delete the page.

When I was denied access once again I set up another account under a different name, no problem! Just opened it to see if I could, then deleted it.

The wife gave me heck for deleting the page as her Fb amigos followed it, so to keep peace in the family I sent a copy of my drivers licence (a document they said was acceptable) 3+ weeks ago. Even after 4 attempts by different means to get feedback from Fb, when I try to login I get the following message:

Thank You

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to access your account while we’re reviewing these additional documents. We appreciate your patience, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can

Some facts about Fascistbook:

1) it received over 12 million dollars in funding from the CIA (access to info?)

2) anyone can open an account under any assumed name with NO ID (unprofessional )

3) it depends on snitch policing (fascist!)

4) when a snitch sans ID reports a person they must prove ID (double standard!)

5) it LIES!

6) for being so anal about names and info, why do they refuse to recognize a town you are from/are unless it’s a major urban area? (utter stupidity!)

I shall open a Fb account (just to be a sh*t disturber) under my real name for the sole purpose of posting this to see what happens, EH!
