CURRENT MISSION

Take in everything life has to offer and make the best of everything.

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone, I'm Erik! I grew up and lived in Montreal, Canada almost my whole life. I've travelled a bit everywhere in North America and did a Eurotrip in 2010. I also have French citizenship and have a lot of family there, so I've been there quite a few times. I graduated from McGill in Mechanical Engineering in 2011. After a year of working in Montreal, I got bored so I got a job in Hamburg and moved there in Sept 2012. And now I'm living it up in Germany.

PHILOSOPHY

Dont be afraid to try anything new or strange. Always try as many different things as you can.
