About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my mission. It's out there somewhere.

ABOUT ME

What am I all about?
Well, I have a degree in Kinesiology (sports science) that is hanging on my wall in Canada as I am abroad experiencing life.
I just returned back to Canada after teaching English in Ukraine and I am still travelling every chance I have.

I love meeting new people and some of my favourite memories involve severe language barriers complete with charades and a lot of laughter.
I like being outdoors. No, I LOVE being outdoors.
I like planning, BUT am way too spontaneous to do it.
I'm from Canada, but I don't enjoy cold weather.
I love to dance. Anywhere. I learnt the cha-cha from an 8 year old Ukrainian boy on a busy downtown sidewalk and loved every minute of it.
I like learning new things.
I will never turn down a coffee or a beer.
I love talking with friends, family, strangers - you name it.
I will try anything at least once.
