CURRENT MISSION

I've just moved in to Waterloo so I'd like to meet new people and see all things that the city has to offer!

ABOUT ME

I'm normally a shy and reserved person with a handful of close friends, but now that I've moved to a new city I'd like to push myself to just get out there and meet as many people as I can! I'm super friendly, well-traveled, reliable, am not afraid to give my own opinions, and once I get past the initial nervousness of meeting someone new, I love to laugh and joke.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we reap what we sow.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to indie and British rock, but I'm okay with everything else.

Movie-wise, I enjoy comedy and horror.

In a bookstore, I spend most time in the non-fiction, humor, and art/design sections.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years back, while jeeping one of the mountains on Bali Island (in Indonesia), my friends and I lost control of the jeep and it started backing towards the edge of a cliff. We managed to stop the vehicle's descent when the edge was just about two feet away! I was in the back seat looking at the rocks and trees which were a few hundred meters below.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was in South East Asia for 17 years so I can definitely share about the different arts, cultures, and customs that I have come across while living in and traveling around the region.
