Just don’t expect to make long self-driven road trips quite…

The audio of Thiel’s comments was obtained by Decoded…
Last summer, I left my life in Connecticut behind and moved to Montreal on a whim, without a plan.People told me I was brave.Really? I’m a travel journalist. I’ve followed a snow leopard expert across Nepal; I’ve lived with a family in Uzbekistan who didn’t speak English; and I’ve had a private encounter with the King of Bhutan.

I hadn’t been to Canada in more than 12 years and barely…
