About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take over the world! ...Or at least, see it! :P

ABOUT ME

An explorer of cities (and beyond). Love to take different routes to get to familiar places, and to discover unfamiliar places.

My day job as a graphic/web designer is complemented by an active nightlife of anywhere from sweat-inducing samba dancing to making an intimate dinner with good friends.

Oh yes--I like to make things that often can be categorized as art or design pieces, and play the guitar now and then.

I know quite a bit about Toronto, so if you surf with my roomates and I you won't be lacking for recommendations on what to do.
