About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Happiness. Make a Positive impact to people around me. Fulfill my purpose.

ABOUT ME

I am.

In 2012, I sold my car and gave away most of my possessions to travel, did a yoga teacher training in Costa Rica, backpacked through Central America and some of south east Asia. After going home to spend time with my family, I started traveling again in September 2013 to Australia, where I couchsurfed and did woofing... I also completed a vipassana (meditation retreat). Then I moved to Mtl and learnt french.

Before that adventure I was in La Ronge where I have gone on jetboat rides in the rapids, did cliff-jumping (and bridge jumping), boating, swimming, joined the volunteer fire dpt, worked as a Child Protection Worker, hiked, fished and so much more.

PHILOSOPHY

-Happiness comes from within
-Everything happens as it should
-I am not this hair or this skin, I am the soul from within
-Life is too short not to
