About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore myself through the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a Canadian student learning about philosophy in Leuven, Belgium right now. I aspire to one day, be a photographer or journalist as well as to learn as many languages as possible it is one of my passions, but I tend to be the type who will try to be learning many many things at once.

PHILOSOPHY

Seeing as I dabble in philosophy this is always a difficult one, but for me it would be. To give enjoy my life, and give everything I can to the lives that I touch, because I know that everything I do will in some way change something. We are each ripples in an ocean to some extent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
