CURRENT MISSION

Getting the whole adventure thing out of my system.

ABOUT ME

I'm easygoing, considerate, and pretty geeky. I'm 26 years-old and I've been working in customer service in Canada for a good three years after finishing university. This is my big trip so I'm sort of acting like an excited little puppy being let outside. I welcome any suggestions on what to do with my time!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm pretty obsessed with identity and trying to be the very best version of yourself through seeking out new experiences, learning new skills, and laughing at yourself when you do dumb stuff. Not the most profound philosophy. I like the way that Alan Watts looks at life.

Interests

Movies, comedy - The Mighty Boosh, The IT Crowd, Black Books, Dylan Moran, The Kids in the Hall, Bill Hicks, writing, karaoke, beer and sandwiches.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a crow throw up. I didn't know they could do that!
I'm sorry - I'm sort of blanking. I don't think that really carries the sort of inspirational heft that was intended.

Teach, Learn, Share

I draw and paint a bunch
I can play the violin sort of (it's been a while since I've picked it up)
I can sing badly but enthusiastically
