ABOUT ME

After bouncing around the world for a few years I moved to Vancouver last year and am digging the West Coast lifestyle. I'm happy with my job teaching high school English and physical education, and in my free time, I enjoy Vancouver's bike paths, canoeing and cooking. I like to challenge myself to physcial feats: This past summer I cycled 2000 km across Spain and France, and I recently broke my personal best time for a 10 km running race. I love travelling and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be positive, help yourself, help others, help the community.
