CURRENT MISSION

To be uncomfortable. To be sand, not oil in the machinery of the world.

ABOUT ME

An Ontario native, I now divide my time between Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Montreal, Quebec where I go to graduate school. My passion is art house film.

My friends will tell you that I get along with anyone I meet. I can't think of anything more exciting than leaving my comfort zone and experiencing new activities and lifestyles.

Typical activities include (but are not limited to): Cooking, watching movies, awful karaoke, riding bikes, graphic design, exploring, running, reading, laughing, and talking about really any subject.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience and learn as much as I can. To be a student of the human condition.

Interests

I like to lose balance every now and then. Oh, and I've got this whole unhealthy obsession with Björk and French 60s pop which I won't try to force upon you, I swear.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be honest, this CouchSurfing thing is probably one of the boldest moves I've made, considering I had never traveled independently until I flew to another country and stayed with a (at the time) complete stranger.
