About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver

ABOUT ME

I grew up on the west coast of Canada going backpacking with my father through the coastal mountains every weekend. I continually want to extend that sense of adventure and yearning for knowledge throughout my daily life. I like nothing more than being placed in a completely unknown situation and sorting myself out. I'm planning on heading to medical school in australia in 2011 and want to soak up as much random fun in between as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Be truly open as you listen- welcome all new knowledge and philosophy, let it mingle with your own views and watch as they interact. As these thoughts assimilate, your own outlook is tested and thus continually reclarified.

And have fun. Plain and simple.
