CURRENT MISSION

to travel as much as I can and learn from the world around me

ABOUT ME

Having been raised as an only child by a single hippy mother, I was able to have opportunities that very few people have had. I have lived in isolated, native communities in the Canadian arctic. At the age of 13, I cycled across Ireland for 6 weeks. At the age of 15, I cycled from Paris to Prague via the Swiss Alps. I backpacked through Ecuador, South America for 2 months and swam with giant sea turtles in the Galapagos. You might say my childhood was a bit unusual.

However, I believe it is through these experiences that I have become who I am. I love to meet new people, learn new languages and discover the little nooks and crannies in the world that aren't listed in any guide book. I am naturally curious about the world. I love to learn. I enjoy listening to people's stories... maybe one day I'll hear yours!

PHILOSOPHY

the world = my playground
