About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get somewhere I don't know, and see and learn as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

I am a 23-year old studying earth and environmental sciences and geography in Kelowna, Canada. I was born and raised in Calgary, Canada and spent lots of my time 'playing' in the Rockies, the Kootenays and the Okangan. I have a passion for the earth, the environment, and its history and want to learn, see and experience as MUCH of it as I can! I am always up for trying new things and meeting new people from all walks of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Never take things too seriously, take a step back and look at the grand scheme of things. Things are NEVER as bad as you think. Don't place judgments - everybody has a story! Live life like you won't get opportunities twice!
