Pear 2

Canada has reminded me of a book I was given a few years ago.

It's One Red Paperclip and it written by Kyle MacDonald, a real dude (I don't use that lightly!) who decided to swap smaller items for larger items where he eventually traded for a house. It was a mental scheme that he quickly became famous for, but he was "ready to go out into the world and help him find a job that would eventually get him a house" a situation I feel I am in, or at least think about once a day.

Kyle is from Belcarra, British Columbia, Canada and it's a place that probably isn't that impressive, but it seems to have created a legend, so I'd definitely visit.

This dude also has a brilliant blog.
