About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Look out England

ABOUT ME

Call it what you will, itchy feet syndrome, wanderlust, gypsy spirit. Whatever it is I have it. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories and reaffirming that the human spirit is in essence, beautiful. I love a challenge, a good adventure, and feeling inspired. Whenever I find myself settling into a routine, becoming too busy for what really matters and what really brings me joy, I know its time to shake things up a bit and do something different.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a fan of religion (although I think everyone should have faith in something)
I hate politics (but i definately have my opinions)
I'm your typical middle of the road, reasonable, friendly, easy going Canadian.
