CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel to many different countries and enjoy my life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a dual citizen, Canadian/American originally from Montreal, I am now living here in Shanghai.

Before I started working here I lived in South Korea. I really love living in Asia, and usually have a fantastic time here. The best country I visited has to be Laos, or Cambodia, because they are so chill.

I'm really interested in films from all over the world, especially Asian Cinema, but also French and other European stuff.

I exercise often to stay fit and have fun. I also eat tonnes of fresh veggies and fruits.
My most recent trip was to Thailand. . What I love most about traveling is meeting new people, and being exposed to different foods.
I've grown a lot through my travels and discovered a lot about myself, and picked up more language skills.

When it comes to literature I enjoy sci-fi, novels, and short stories. I'm a big fan of biographies and non-fiction. Perhaps my favorite author is Philip K.D who wrote the novels that inspired the films "Blade Runner" and "Total Recall" "Minority Report" "A Scanner Darkly" What I love about his writing is that it is so short but at the same time expressive, kinda like Kafka, or Charles Bakowski. Love reading the New Yorker, and the Economist.

Like different kinds of music, and enjoy going to bars, although I'm not a person who goes often. When I do I enjoy listening to music, dancing. Poetry readings and art exhibits are also a lot of fun.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a fan of stoicism. I think the stoic approach to life is basically correct. It's important to keep calm, despite whatever problems life confronts you with. Also I think you should follow nature.

â I like this quote - I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.”
Quentin Tarantino
