About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeking adventure, fulfillment and friendship out of life.

OVERVIEW

From 2007 to 2009 I traveled a lot in Asia and Europe. From 2010 to 2014 I worked in Toronto saving money for my next adventure. I took 2015 off from work and spent 3 months in Guatemala learning Spanish, 3 months in Colombia, a month in Nicaragua to learn how to surf and came back home to Toronto. I spent the summer here because summers in Toronto are amazing and then went out travelling again for September and October going to Greece, Morocco and Spain. I'm now back in Toronto and run a recruitment business with a friend of mine. If you're ever in Toronto and need any advice, reach out to me anytime!

PHILOSOPHY

A ship is safest in the harbour, but that's not what it was built for.
