CURRENT MISSION

Learn from all the unique and diverse experiences that life throws my way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveler taking a break to study some things, but getting back on the road next year. I've done two major trips to Europe and South America, and a volunteer exchange program in Africa. I'm passionate about politics, philosophy, and other worldly things.

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to enjoy myself while contributing positively to the well being of others and our shared planet. I'm idealistic, but I'm also young.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I literally ran from an erupting Ecuadorian volcano with rocks falling from the sky on my head, all in the last week of my first overseas trip alone.

Teach, Learn, Share

My biggest passion is sustainability- so I have the most knowledge and opinion on this topic. Other things I may be able to share some thoughts on are (ecological) economics, canadian politics, and traveling philosophy.

I'd love to learn more about gardening, cooking, hunting, and fishing. (Yes, I love food)
