Travel + Escape from the Malignant Narcissist! How I used my Cross-Canada Camper Adventure through January 2026 to Recover, then I sold my house!


Kia Ora Travellers!  My traveling days are fewer and further between because I was subjected to Canadian hostility in my own hometown. Lots of details cannot be shared here, but I will tell you, there are some of the biggest Assholes living in the city where I was born and grew up, join any forum on Facebook and you will see them trolling. Live there, and you will meet them face to face, they are despicable human trash cans walking with arms and legs, they lie to you, they manipulate, they discard. And some are much, much worse. Let me explain.  Still traveling these days, but as I explained, far less than I wanted to with work and family responsibilities, only so much I can do. (:

(Photo 1 above: One the road in my 1986 Toyota Slumber Queen - Location nearby Quetico Provincial Park, Ontario backroads in January 2026, Photo 2 above TransCanada 17 Highway). 


In October 2025, I searched Marketplace for used RV campers, and the best area I found for them was around British Columbia and Alberta in western Canada. I located a 1986 Toyota Slumber Queen in Kamloops, B.C. and another in Calgary, Alberta - only one replied to my inquiry.  

Previously, I took a similar chance to find a well-serviced motorhome in Kamloops, British Columbia in 2019, but drove across Canada in a half rotten, coolant burning Toyota that needed to be totally overhauled once I was finally towed across the State of Michigan back to Windsor. That restored motorhome was later sold in 2021, then I waited a few years to find another project to work on. 

From summer 2022, I came into a life financial crisis setup by a scam-hearted developer, now former friend, while we resituated in a new financial burden (Home) surrounded by human trash.  While living there, I was gradually harassed by neighbors on both sides, forcing me to find a new path to spend my time, and prepare my family for a move out and away from Windsor.

In January 2026 - I continued correspondence with Dennis in Calgary, Alberta and he assured me his motorhome was in excellent mechanical condition and had interior repairs and remodeling already completed. We corresponded on Messenger and through Facebook Marketplace having now located this 1986 Toyota Slumber Queen, an exact design match to the previous one I drove across Canada, I took the chance to buy it and drive back 3600km across Canada from the Rockies to the Great Lakes. So, my plans were set into motion in the middle of winter and I flew out from Toronto City airport into Calgary, Alberta. 

First stop, the Calgary Youth hostel taking the 300 bus to downtown and then I walked. The next morning, I rode the train to the outskirts of Calgary where I met Dennis the Slumber Queen owner, my expectations were low, only good mechanical condition this time, and no camper wood rot. Fortunately, I found both and adventure began. 

I traveled across Alberta visiting a few friends (Cathy and Dave in Cochrane) along the way, and then once in Saskatchewan I drove into the capital city of Regina and met my friend Michael T. whom I originally met while working in South Korea in 2002 (also visited Mike in 2019 while roofing his parents house in asphalt shingles for $20 bucks lol!).  The journey was fantastic, I shared on socials as the journey went - recovering from the mishaps back home.  I want to thank the kindness of friends, and those I met along the journey. Sometimes it is easy to find kindness on the road, when you are out there. Travel is the key to happiness, never let any trap set, take this away from you. Carpez diem. Kia Ora. Amen. 

And now, for the explanation of this blog update and describing what I just went through continuing the next chapters of my life, entitled:

Overcoming the Assholes - A New Chapter in my Life Journey!

When I turn on the International News, I usually look at DW News from Germany or other outlets, and one theme seems to ring over and over, The Rise of the Assholes in Global News and Crisis situations, caused by none other than, Presidents who care less about their people because they lust power - these are the Narcistic Assholes that are trying to take over the world. We all know them, I will spare everyone naming the Dictators, the Warlords, The War Criminals, and those leaders who manipulate everyone else for their selfish egos. The International News seems to narrow in on endless Wars, and Global Trade Wars. 

Have you ever met someone that initially acted friendly, tried to exaggerate how successful they were, and then they used you, and finally abused you.... I have had that experience several times in the past 5 years. I am posting to my adventure blog to explain and highlight the dangers of dealing with Malignant Narcissistic people. These individuals usually standout of the crowd as attention seeking Droids, yes, humans programmed to act like other people, but they are not like other people, they are demented souls preying on anyone who makes themselves available to them.  I experienced this first hand - it sucks believe me.


I used to live next to an ASSHOLE in Windsor, Ontario - a true con-artist, a manipulative predator, a vile human without a conscience or a soul.  This individual took advantage of my skills and talents (Lawncare +Roof gutter cleaning and guard installation normally costing thousands, I charged the tax on an 11 hour work project that involved myself and my wife working together, while the ASSHOLE looked on pretending he was working! Our act of kindness and support to our neighbors quickly escalated into a long-lasting feud over nothing. My neighbor gradually revealed their true nature as a Narcissistic Psychopath, also known as a Malignant Narcissist - and this foul playing and malicious loser continued on this irrevocable path until I left Windsor for good! Goodbye assholes!

1986 Toyota Slumber Queen crossing into Ontario from Manitoba. In Virden, Manitoba, I was kindly helped by mechanics with an electrical short in the engine bay. I was also offered a carpenter job in West Hawk Lake, Manitoba by the owner of a construction company offering me a town tour as well.

After providing essential maintenance service as a neighborly favor, this predator instantly grew longer teeth and started demanding things, viciously verbally attacking me, and lying through his corncob teeth. There were property line disputes, disputes over landscaping stones I unearthed when i moved in to our home of 3.5 years, and the complaining and verbal threats were continuous whenever, the predator appeared from their dragons den. This neighbor removed my landscaping stones, and lied to the police on several occasions, attempted to assault me and missed, and finally a year later - assaulted me - full stop. 


A Malignant Narcissist is someone who is a absolutely creepy, anti-social loser, a predator, someone who brags about their educational triumphs, but doesnt work and masquerades as hero, but is actually a shallow f-ing idiot.  If you have ever known someone to be better categorized as a piece of human shit than a living human being - yep! You know what I am talking about here. Those wannabe losers pretending to work, pretending to matter in the community, a false sense of inflated self-worth and destructive and violent history revealed in their past and present actions - because this demented soul, has no path to follow other than being a class ass - Malignant Psychopath in short. Ruthless in nature, cunning, cheating, manipulating, flying into exaggerated psychotic rages -unprovoked, remorseless and cruel. Yes! You found one of these trashy humans - in an era of Assholes A Theory a documentary featured on CBC Gem. Assholes are one level, but Narcisstic Psychopaths are a whole other level of EVIL and VILE examples.

What can you do when you run into a depraved human such as this - Simple. Spend thousands of dollars and Sell your house, Relocate away from the Psychopath and finally, write about the experience in your blog to warn others. (:

Here is a simple explanation about this asshole who once sought to ruin my day: (Remember Assholes and Narcissists are similar, both use others and take advantage of the kindness and trust others offer, violating every moral fiber of your true being, Psychopaths have no moral compass and will use lies and deceit to hurt others, they are are the most dangerous of all the Assholes - while basking themselves in your suffering - and once you identify the undeniable, the best course of action is to pack up and leave for GREENER PASTURES of a distance that is palatable to your whole family. And Win!

Malignant narcissism is one of several types of narcissism. The five main types include:

  1. Overt narcissism 
  2. Covert narcissism
  3. Communal narcissism
  4. Antagonistic narcissism
  5. Malignant narcissism

Malignant narcissism is considered by many to be the most severe type.2 That’s why it helps to recognize when you have someone with this condition in your life and what to expect from interactions with them. This knowledge can also provide insight into how to deal with them in the healthiest way possible.

How to Identify a Malignant Narcissist

What It Means to Be a Malignant Narcissist

Beyond the desire to focus primarily on themselves and be held in high regard by virtually everyone in their lives, people with malignant narcissism tend to have a darker side to their self-absorption. These individuals can be highly manipulative and don't care who they hurt as long as they get their own way.

Although there is only one official diagnosis for narcissism (narcissistic personality disorder), there are different types. Someone with grandiose narcissism, for instance, requires excessive praise and attention; while someone with vulnerable narcissism tends to have a lot of anxiety and need a lot of supportive attention.

So how does malignant narcissism differ from narcissism? The primary difference is that while narcissism involves symptoms of grandiosity and low empathy for others, a malignant narcissist tends to have more severe symptoms as well as symptoms of other co-occurring personality disorders.

Among the different types, people with malignant narcissism are by far the most harmful to others. Social psychologist Erich Fromm, who first coined the term malignant narcissism, called people with this type "the quintessence of evil."1

People with this subtype contain the general traits of NPD, including regular egocentricity. They also have antisocial traits and even a sadistic streak, as well as a poor sense of self and lack of empathy. There is often some paranoia involved with malignant narcissism as well.3 

Some experts see little difference between malignant narcissism and psychopathy in that both have antisocial behavior and low empathy.4

Signs Someone Is a Malignant Narcissist

The signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), including their severity, can vary. Here are common characteristics of malignant narcissists:1

  • Preoccupied with fantasies about beauty, brilliance, success, and power
  • Unable to handle criticism
  • Likely to lash out if they feel slighted
  • Tends to exploit others to get what they want
  • Overly concerned with appearance
  • Expects to be treated as superior and craves validation, known as narcissistic supply
  • Lacks empathy for others
  • Inflated sense of self and difficulty with self-regulation
  • No remorse for harming others and unwilling to apologize unless it benefits them
  • Believes they deserve the best of everything
  • Tends to dominate conversations and mistreat those seen as inferior
  • Hides insecurity and has a weak sense of self
  • Tendency to blame others for their own bad behavior

Additional signs of malignant narcissism can include:

  • Seeing the world in black-and-white terms, including seeing others as either friend or foe
  • Seeking to win at all costs, leaving a great amount of pain, frustration, and even heartache in their wake
  • Not caring about the pain they cause others—or maybe even enjoying it and experiencing it as empowering
  • Doing what it takes to protect themselves from loss, inconvenience, or failing to get what they want in any situation

Causes of Malignant Narcissism

The reasons a person becomes a malignant narcissist is not known.5 As with most mental health disorders, NPD can develop as a result of a combination of factors. For instance, the following childhood experiences can contribute to the development of NPD:6

Evidence shows that having a close relative with NPD can increase the risk of developing the condition as well.7 It's also possible that neurobiology may play a role. According to research published in 2021, some patients with NPD have been found to have altered grey and white brain matter.6

This North American cycle tour was called Totherocktour. Enjoying the adventure of bicycle travel and every great conversation started while traveling on the road - has refueled his inspirations to cycle around the Earth. In 2013, while he cycled solo from the Great Lake State of Michigan, United States to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. He weaved through local communities and reconnected with friends, family and community after spending almost a decade in Asia.


Brian is now supporting several non-profit foundations through expeditions: IDEAS Foundation of Canada IDEAS is the acronym for Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society which supports the IBD community, those suffering from IBD-inflammatory bowel disease, also known as Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.


The second non-profit foundation is ETE.ORG - Education Through Expeditions, UK which supports educational outreach programs inside schools around the world. ETE connects explorers with students in the classroom, through an interactive online program in development (Beta).


Brian is researching support for a 18000 kilometer bicycle expedition across the Americas: North, Central and South America - ONE -Arctic to Argentina
