About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, Adventure, Learn, Have fun

ABOUT ME

I've travelled to New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii and I toured across Canada with my band. I am currently in France teaching english and I am on my quest to travel around Europe!

Live presently!
I really try to see the most positive perspective on life. I like to be productive and do things. I love to experience things with other people so that we can appreciate it together-- I think of Chris McCandless quote from Into the Wild- "happiness only real when shared." Maybe not completely true but I'd say happiness is better when shared! Getting to know other people is one of my favorite things.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will work out, stay positive!
