CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much of the world and meet as many of its people before I run out of money, or am deported back to Canada

ABOUT ME

I am a law student at UBC working in Vancouver for the summer. I love travel and working internationally, although it is nice to be home in Canada for a while.

PHILOSOPHY

I live purely for new experiences, and think that you can only get them by throwing yourself into new places with new people.

The Canadian Rockies. Downhill skiing and biking all over Western Canada.
Trying to explain why I couldn't move my arm in a Spanish hospital
Going from Eindhoven to Prague through 5 other cities in 11 days.
Couchsurfing my way to Ilovetechno 2008 (and I do love techno)
Brussels at Night
Shambhala Music Festival under the stars in interior BC
Hiked the Great Wall
Stared up at the Petronas Towers on a hot Malaysian night
Rode an elephant
I was groomed by a parrot (apparently my bright colored shirt made me look like a gigantic bird)
Watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean
Wandering through Angkor Wat on a balmy summer day
Seeing the killing fields in Cambodia, and realizing I need to do everything in my power to stop atrocities like that from ever happening again

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll talk about anything academic over a beer. Degrees in Religious Studies and Economics, and working on law, but I much prefer to learn about new areas.

Teach me some new recipes. I'm slowly stating to figure out the cooking stuff.
