ABOUT ME
After 9 months of living, working and traveling in Europe I am living back to Canada with a shit load of ridiculous stories.
Was living in Kelowna for a while and I've just moved into a new apartment in downtown Vancouver.
I have gotten to the point in my travels where I am more interested in visiting the people of a particular place than the sights. Just because I'm not traveling at the moment doesn't mean the international experiences of my life need to end.
PHILOSOPHY
Just Give'r:
Function: Verb
Etymology: Canadian, particular to rural areas, especially Lanark County Ontario and most of Alberta; An amalgam of the words give and her; made popular by movie "FUBAR"
1. Going all out and/or balls to the wall to take care of business as quickly and as awesomely as possible.
2. Acting in a way that is like you're rocking out really hard, but at the same time, trying to solve a problem that may or may not involve drop-kicking something without hesitation.

Music, Movies, and Books
Well I used to work in a book store so I like a lot of books. Favourite is On The Road by Jack Kerouac. My musical taste is also pretty eclectic but I can never resist some good new rock. My attitudes for movies are the same......I can watch anything.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Watching a Boeing 747 taking off at Vancouver International Airport with the sun setting in the background. I always want to be on the next plane taking off ;)
