About Me

Bartender and gardener in Canada, but I left to do some travelling … Nepal, exploring the Himalayas. Volunteering at a tea farm and learning lots. Making my way through Turkey, Budapest and finally Berlin…

I am working to become a teacher, I love kids and their curiosity. They can show us so much about the world.

Other than that I’m super chill, I’m pretty low key but I love a good conversation about travel, food, books… over a nice coffee or beer. I love walking and exploring new places and people watching:)
