CURRENT MISSION

See some places / meet some people / eat stuff / do stuff / aspire toward general feelings of grooviness, etc.

ABOUT ME

I love learning people's favourite local eating/drinking holes, parks to kick a ball around in, etc. I'd be happy to take your dog for walks, as I've been going through dog withdrawal for years now. Sigh -- the life of a single traveler isn't the dog-friendliest. Just finished grad school (journalism) in Ottawa, and accepted a six month contract to work as a media trainer in Dar Es Salaam. I've only heard good things about couch surfing, and figure it's about time.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing trumps the golden rule - treat others as you'd like to be treated. That said, runner-ups include: reserve judgment, and you know, fill your life with love.

Interests
