Words to live by: Read • Write • Bike
Which I guess is another way of reminding myself to Learn, Create, and Adventure.

Lately I find myself travelling quite a bit (for the past three years, basically). I am on my way to Edinburgh now after a year in Vancouver (thank you, uk gov, for extending my pre-settled status!) with a desire to meet some of those good people out there.

I still believe that one of the best ways to travel is by bicycle. Done some touring in Scotland, Denmark, the US, and the latest: an epic ride from Melbourne to Alice Springs. More to come. But these days, I also dream about becoming good at kayaking. And honestly, biking A to B or round in circles in the city is pretty good too.

Of all the languages out there, my favourite by far is English. I like to express this through writing, journaling, reading, and trying my hardest to live in countries filled with native english speakers. As someone who has studied a bit of philosophy and is partial to doubt most things in this world, maybe it is telling that my love of English remains a part that I very rarely question. My notebook is something I bring everywhere I go and must replace often.

I like challenges, goals, lists, projects, trying all things new.
If you know a good spot/pub for trivia, I'm down!
Book recommendations are always welcome.
I believe we should laugh often. I need your help.
I'm always ready to dance.
I'm vegetarian.

Music, Movies, and Books

Art is good.

Currently:
🎵 Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino is an album I am thoroughly enjoying these days.
🎬 Most recent movie I watched that really made an impression... probably 12 Angry Men. Honestly, a masterpiece... How do you change someone's mind? But we can't lock everyone in a stifling hot room together until they agree, can we...
📚 Recently finished A Doll's House by Ibsen. Nora is iconic. Watch it if you don't want to read it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a few sunsets and even a couple sunrises.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have some philosophy to share, please do!
If you have some great business idea I can steal, that's OK too!
