I've been traveling in Asia for 10 months and I'm now looking to settle in somewhere a bit less humid for a few months...aka this Canadian polar bear is missing bit of frigid weather and hot chocolate ;) In mid June I'll be heading to New Zealand to relax for a bit, discover Kiwi life, and meet some amazing people!

Here are some fun fast facts about me:

- This year I traveled to 7 countries, including 2 amazing months in Japan.
- I'm a collector of accents and dialects. Teach me all your slang! You can find me practicing my English accent via Youtube tutorial videos. Canadian accents are kind of boring so I'm tossing it up, eh.
- I love meeting new people and discussing new ideas.
- I'm a digital entrepreneur with several online businesses (including an NGO that raises money for elephants). This means I work as I travel!
- I'm also teaming with business ideas, from selling leg warmers, to jewelry brands to venturing into VR.
- I'm a big fan of random banter, sarcasm, being goofy, and humour in general. I usually have a smile on my face. I adore the company of children and often find them climbing on me.
- Huge lover of animals and the outdoors.
- I'm very open minded and love discovering new things.
- I'm also really into meditation and positive psychology.

Send me a message if you want to chat or meetup! I'm mainly looking for longer term accommodations, so if you know a place (or if you're open to sharing your place longer term) I'm definitely interested. We can work out the finer details :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sold my house, my car, quit my desk job, gave my sweet cat to a friend, and moved across the world to Asia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A super lighthearted attitude, a decent culinary repertoire, fun new words that I both hear and make up (like appe-teaser) a curious mind that picks up lots of interesting world tidbits, lots of laughs and some Canadian charm.
