About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel travel travel cuz I can sleep when I die

ABOUT ME

I am a Jane of all trades and a king of none. I am a scientist so I have a nerdy side. I love to travel, meet new people and converse with strangers so I have a very fun and adventurous side as well! I also fancy myself as a bit of a hippie :)

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your bliss and spread the love.
If you don't do it, no one else will either!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

August 2009 - Vancouver, BC
Trekked from University of British Columbia campus, most north eastern point of Vancouver all the way to Granville Island which is located somewhere near downtown.
The walk took 8 hours and I hopped from beach to beach. A dip here, a bite there, stopping to watch the sunset on Jericho Beach, ending with a Polynesian dinner on Granville Island.
BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

Teach, Learn, Share

My favorite thing to do on any trip is to grab a map and walk for hours upon hours to explore a city ending with a "nice" dinner and some vino, or barfood and beer, that works too!
