CURRENT MISSION

To travel around the world seeking adventure, friendship and experience.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded, friendly and polite Canadian boy from the Prairies. I grew up with a good family, spending most of our free time at our rustic but beautiful cabin near the Lake of the Woods area in Ontario. I haven't done much traveling so far and now that I've graduated from university it's time to see the world.

I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I'm open to all new experiences and I'll try anything once. I like reading, writing, photography and conversation over coffee but I also like to play cards, have a beer, and dance the night away.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to seek out moments of beauty and connection with other people on this lonely, lonely planet.

I swam through a gigantic school of fish and right up to a barracuda to make eye contact with it before I realized what it was. Then I swam away.
