Andrew Saikali | toronto
Andrew is a staff writer for The Millions. He is a writer in Toronto, Canada, and passes his days as a copy editor with The Globe and Mail’s Report on Business. He spends his moments of leisure listening to music, reading, watching films and prowling the streets of Toronto, and he feels that he is long-overdue for a vacation so that he can do more of those things. At any given time, he is probably pining for distant shores and really should do more traveling and less pining.
