About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and stray away from the Hostel scene into a more local life.

ABOUT ME

I come from a little place in the world called Canada. There i enjoy making snowballs, building igloos and going on the occasional Dog sled run. I live in the city of Edmonton, about 3 hours East of the Rocky mountains.

currently I work 5 months during the winter and take 7 months off, to travel and live.

PHILOSOPHY

We should do what makes us comfortable and happy. Some people enjoy travel and the adventure it can bring. Others are content staying at home and living in comfort.

I love the feeling of waking up and not know what's going to happen that day, or where you will be the next day. What a rush!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking to Machu Pichu, Surfing in Brasil, Week long motorcycle trek through the mountains.
3 months working basically alone in Northern Canada was the worst and best time of my life. Worst for the obvious reasons, solitary confinement will break even the strongest man, and the work was what I would call soul stealing. Best because it taught be to go out and live with no regrets.

Countries I’ve Visited
