Interests

My #1 passion and priority at the moment is travel. I will forever love music and outdoor adventures. Born in the HK, raised as a Canadian nomad. Avid in snowboarding, longboarding, ice hockey, beach volleyball and any outdoor activity. I've been told that I am a pretty funny, outgoing and honest dude. Looking forward to laying down on your couches!
