ABOUT ME

I'm a mid-20's female, I smile a lot and like funny things.
I am living in Ottawa and going to university..
I love traveling, like, all of it. I love tasting new foods, getting called "foreigner" in foreign languages and being embarrassed by it, I love markets, country sides, mountains, lakes, bike rides, and local hospitality, heck I even see the positives in getting lost, robbed, or having to sleep on the street for a night. It makes me feel like a modern day adventurer and keeps me from living a dull consumer-driven life.
I dig coffee, good beer, and good company.

PHILOSOPHY

if I can love myself, loving anyone else should be easy
