ABOUT ME

Canadian by birth but being nomadic for an undetermined length of time!

Spent the last two years in gorgeous Chiang Mai (happy to share travel tips) and am now in Kyiv, Ukraine. I am a teacher so have a solid 9-5 job but am around on evenings and weekends for some exploring!

PHILOSOPHY

Try anything once. Just say yes!
