About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Capturing Connection through my lens.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27-year-old Canadian travelling the world to capture the human connection through my lens. I'm looking to understand the diversity and complexity of the many cultures around the globe. I'm a relaxed and open-minded person and would love to chat with local hosts about your experiences of living in the host country and looking forward to meeting with you to understand your story of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?"-Rumi

“I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us, enslave something in us.”-Gibran
