About Me

CURRENT MISSION

From 2006:
"I'm hitchhiking across the United States, i'm a history major at McGill University and i want to experience the people and culture. I've already biked through Vermont and upstate New York and and coming back in through Detroit."

PHILOSOPHY

Experience is key.

Interests

I love biking, i really love good, creepy movies, especially by Todd Solondz (if you've seen and love 'Palindromes' you are my kind of person), really, i'm not specific, i like coffee.
