CURRENT MISSION

Make it happen. Be happy. Explore. Love.

ABOUT

I was born in Canada, but have lived nearly half my life in Canada and half in USA. (Currently living in Canada ).

I studied Mechanical Engineering at the Univeristy at Buffalo, in Buffalo, NY, USA. I also spent almost a year in Australia as an exchange student.

Now I am travelling throughout South America with hopes to meet new people both local and foreign, learn the languages, learn about the culture and history, and explore the various beautiful landscapes South America has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Tao de Ching
Act towards others the way you know you should. If everyone did that the world could be a much better place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve been an exchange student twice. The first time was in high school to Paris, France for 2 weeks. During University, I spent my final semester in Melbourne, Australia completing my Engineering degree. I spent the following 5 months moving around alot in Australia, working several short-term jobs, and hitchhiking nearly everywhere (5000km).

If I had to choose something that left me awestruck, I would have to say my trip to New Zealand as a whole. I went bungy jumping for the first time there. Also, some of the views in the Southern Alps were absolutely breathtaking. The potential for spending time hiking and camping in amazing places is enormous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am full of useless information. Happy to teach in any way I can, language is perhaps a useful/desirable one. I love to learn; languages and many other subjects including some I have never heard of yet!
