About Me

I've been living abroad for the past 5 years, I have moved out of my parents place to do an exchange in Finland to finish my bachelor degree in Informatics, after that i have moved to Hamburg, Germany for two years to work for Airbus as a developer within a procurement department and after one year doing that I felt that I needed a break from work, so I saved up the second year and when my contract ended I got on a plane to New Zealand with a few short stops in between. I lived, worked and traveled the South Island quite extensively. After a few months of doing this I decided that it's a pretty good life and applied for a working holiday in Canada.
I found work through a guy I met in the Philippines on my way to Canada and started planting trees, a very Canadian student job, lived in the bush in my tent for 3 months more than a hundred kilometers away from civilization. Once the season was over I started traveling and went down the continental divide till the grand canyon.

Now I'm starting to work at Panorama mountain resort to spend my first winter at a ski resort.
