About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get a job in Toronto and a cute little apartment to boot!

ABOUT ME

Soooo. I have three passions. Food, Fashion and Film.

I studied Hotel and Food Admin in university and have a great passion for preparing people delicious meals. I'm constantly thinking about food!

When living in Korea I dabbled in some fashion photography and was part of Seoul Collection and some interesting club nights in and around Gangnam-gu.

As far as film goes. I've seen over 4000 movies and have volunteered at the Toronto International Film Festival for two years now. I work under the sponsorship department at the Roy Thomson Gala's. Meet lots of celebrities and check out about 35 movies in 10 days (egad I know!)

Travel is obviously an all encompassing part of my life that draws from these three passions. Eating, shopping and watching quarky local films wherever I may be.

SHOCKER: I have been abroad for the past 3 years. I spent my first year in Europe and South America and then moved to Korea and Japan for a 12 month work contract. I then spent my last year of travel in South East Asia, China, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii and finally the Mainland US of A!

I have a ton of stories to tell as you can imagine. They sort of fall into conversation. Kidnappings in Lima, stints in Vietnamese jail, living with indigenous tribes in the northern Laos mountain ranges...the list goes on!
