CURRENT MISSION

Live the life you've imagined! - Thoreau

ABOUT ME

I love being spontaneous. I don't like planning too much. I'm the kind of traveler that arrives first and finds a guesthouse second. I'll try any kind of food at least once. I've picked up and moved to another country twice now. I love Canada, but this world is just too big and too interesting to stay in just one country!

I have a degree in Biology and was working in Oil and Gas doing reclamation and remediation. I only had 2 weeks vacation, so I quit that job to travel Thailand for one month. Originally I started teaching English to help me travel and discover other cultures... but it turned out that I LOVE teaching English too! Win-win.

I love experiencing culture shock. Swimming and dancing and drinking cold beers :) I'm super open-minded and always try to stay positive and not stress too much. I like being around other positive people.

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets! If it doesn't harm you or anyone else ~ go for it! Oh. And be honest and upfront with people.
