CURRENT MISSION

Hustle. Succeed. Travel. Repeat.

ABOUT ME

Originally from Toronto, (was) living everywhere (i.e. surfing couches), and now back in Toronto (although I am still in search of a new city to call home).

I work in the start-up space in travel tech, which is all to say that I work from home occasionally and I like to eat and play with data. Before this career shift I worked in marketing, university operations, and even taught English for a year. I travelled a while and have been back Toronto for almost two years now.

I love a good cup of coffee in the mornings (sidenote: I will really miss Kona Coffee in Korea), and the gym keeps me sane. I am pretty low maintenance and easy-going; it would take a lot to get me truly upset (in which case, I'd probably cry it out, pick myself up, and move on).

I love to travel, meet people, and share stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Better a life of 'oh wells' than a life of 'what ifs'... (by some guy)

Music, Movies, and Books

The creators of hypem & soundcloud are my heroes. The eReader & iPod are my friends. I will listen to, read, watch, and try just about anything once. Anything good twice, and anything spectacular an endless number of times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

LIFE: I started as nothing more than an energy force, which found its way into a particle, which grew into an egg of sorts, which then developed into the body that has now served me extremely well for nearly 30 yrs. I lived in sac of water for 9 months; Poland for 4 years, Greece for 2, Korea for 1; with family for 18, roommates for 7, alone for 2. I've traveled, feared, experienced, worked, learned, and pushed the boundaries of my comfort. I've lived without regrets or safety nets and I intended to continue to do so.

Teach, Learn, Share

I recently learned to wash dishes. I'd be happy to show you, so you can wash dishes too.
