CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as I can, appreciate and respect other cultures and make lasting connections.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in an amazing little town called Nelson on the West coast of Canada. I'm fortunate to have great family and friends, and I like meeting new people. I try to treat people how I'd like to be treated. Positive energy and karma are a big staple in my life. I like being outside, hot yoga, bicycling, hiking swimming etc..
After moving to Europe and living in Amsterdam for a few years, I eventually moved to Berlin, where I work as a writer/editor and a cook.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every moment, you don't know which will be your last...
