I am a skier, surfer, climber and adventurer of every kind. I just graduated with a BCom in entrepreneurship from Uvic in south-western Canada, and am currently traveling south down the Brazilian coast looking for waves.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost anything that has a good vibe, good lyrics, or good musical prowess.
I just recently got into a lot of Tom Robbins (even cowgirls get the blues) and just finished Catch-22. I read quite a bit when I´m traveling.
Favorite books are Shantaram, Three Cups of Tea, Sidhartha, Ishmael, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed and skied many mountains in Western Canada and the USA, including Mount Baker on a clear day in June.
Surfed massive perfect waves at Anchor Point in Taghazout, Morrocco.
Lived with the Kayapo in the Brazilian Rainforest for 2 weeks.

Teach, Learn, Share
