About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being exactly where I need to be at a given time.

ABOUT ME

I'm Canadian, finished an anthropology degree and put it to good use through travelling :)

PHILOSOPHY

I think that life is taken too seriously. If you can enjoy the little things, be where you need to be, laugh at yourself, get out of your comfort zone, be proactive about change, and believe in what you chose to believe, then I think that's half the battle. I believe everyone is unique and should feel free to express their own personality...why try to be like everyone else? Find what you like to do and do it. Keep yourself happy, as only you can, and share that happiness with others. I also believe that we are more powerful than we know, and if we open our minds to the possibilty of achieving what we desire, it will happen.
