About Me

ABOUT ME

This feels like a big question with a dynamic answer.

I'm someone who values relationships. I've found myself growing increasingly convinced of the value of building strong community. I've made travel an important part of life because I love adventure and dislike getting stuck in the status quo. I love meeting people, learning new things and find I get tired of mundane routines. I have a lot of questions. I don't quite where I'm headed - but I think that a life of passion is a life best lived.

I recently graduated with degrees in business (focusing on international trade economics) and history. Right now I'm working in business development/design for a playground company.

I like to salvage food, make beer and woodwork.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Canadian arts. Music, film, and literature say a lot about a people. National identity, particularly from a historical Canadian perspective is an interest of mine and so I always enjoy seeing how this is reflected (or not)in Canadian art.
