I like good lattes and good conversation, reading non-fiction, playing acoustic guitar, growing organic food, making kombucha, hitting the gym (well, having hit the gym), psychology, philosophy, mindfulness.

Things people say they like about me: I listen fully, want to make the world a better place, am calm/calming, am authentic, don't follow the crowd.

Things people either say they don't like about me or might not like about me: I'm quite direct and perhaps too honest, I'm a minimalist so I'm not really into having much stuff.

While I love an occasional beer or glass of wine (or trip to Niagara wine region), I'm not a big drinker anymore and I'm somewhat a homebody (or at least a cafebody). And while I enjoy trying new foods and restaurants, I currently eat a fairly healthy diet, so I eat mostly whole foods.

I really LOVE living in Toronto right now, but I also dream of taking a break from the materialistic, career-obsessed culture of the big city, building a small cabin out of natural materials in the wilderness somewhere with a view of a mountain or lake or at least a beautiful forest, and a big organic permaculture garden, coffee/tea on the porch every morning with the birds, playing Debussy on the piano every night by a roaring fire... Hmm, I could go on forever about this.

I run websites on various topics mostly centred around helping people improve their lives and I also mentor/coach other small business owners who are doing the same thing.

I actually have a somewhat introspective way of making my way through the world (INTJ - I'm a better listener than talker), and I have a bit of hippy in my heart - I dream of a utopian world where everyone takes care of each other.

I aim to live lightly on the earth, help people improve their health and happiness, and do my part to make the world a little bit better.
