About Me

Travel has been such a huge part of my life for the past 8 years. It all started watching the movie the beach, which inspired me to drop out of a business co-op program and go back pack in asia, which led to working on a cruise ship, which lead to living on a small island off the coast of honduras and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff.

So now I'm back home. I own a small boat company, run a small travel charity.- Not Just Tourists (www.njttoronto.com) . Can cook minute rice in 58 seconds!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone down 2500ft on a submarine expedition in Honduras

Teach, Learn, Share

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cook some pretty creative dishes..flambay crepes, Indian food, far fetched paneer.
I also love Nutella, but I won't share that;)

Interested in humanitarian stuff, human achievement, free diving and the ocean.
