Currently studying Urban Planning and living in downtown Toronto. Finally standing still after a 2.5 year hiatus from real life, while teaching English to middle school girls in a small fishing village in South Korea. Staying in Korea allowed me to galavant around SE Asia.

Previous to that I studied Communications, where I was able to study in France and travel Europe.

I love developing countries, taking the road less travelled and making new friends. Always up for a drink and a chat!
