About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find every overlooked and underappreciated spot

ABOUT ME

I am a 22 year old Carleton University graduate in history. I intend to pursue an MA in history starting in September 2010. I have traveled extensively across Canada and to parts of the USA and western Europe. I am going to be spending January and February traveling through Europe and am super excited about the idea.

I am clean and quiet. A little reserved when getting to know someone but once I warm up I can be quite talkative. I enjoy meeting new people. I am happy to be left to explore a city on my own, be shown around or something in between. Very easy going.
