About Me

CURRENT MISSION

do, do, do, then do some more

ABOUT ME

I am an exchange student at the University of Mannheim, Germany coming by way of Vancouver, Canada. My friends would describe me as a very easy going person with a sarcastic sense of humour. I enjoy singing (though I am not particularly good).

I've been living in Germany since February. I had originally planned to leave sometime around June but have completely fallen in love with the country. I don't see myself going back to Canada any time soon, if at all. I've learned and grown so much since I have been here. This is just another medium to continue my personal development by meeting new people! I am incredibly open minded and have a hard time saying no to anything. I love nature, architecture, museums, just about everything!

Most importantly, I love meeting new people, learning new cultures and observing the day to day life of people I would otherwise never have a chance of meeting.

PHILOSOPHY

Live as if it were your last day. You will always regret the things you did not do. The world is full of amazing people, find them!

"You don't sniff wine, you sniff glue!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I travelled in Vietnam to re-connect with my roots and visit family members whom I have never met. The most humbling, beautiful, and memorable experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy the company of outgoing, adventurous, and especially unordinary people. People who aren't afraid to speak their minds and offer opinions, but at the same time are still willing to listen to and see different perspectives of others. There's a wealth of knowledge you can learn from any one person, it's your choice whether or not you actually want to learn.
