CURRENT MISSION

see more. learn more. live more

ABOUT ME

I am a Canadian living in the Netherlands. I only speak English, but I am trying to learn Dutch. I can't host anymore-my best and I live in a shoebox.

About me? I have two speeds. Fast or sleeping. I am pretty social, except in the mornings. I love goofy people, who can laugh at themselves.

PHILOSOPHY

Do something good with your life. Campsite rule: leave the world in a better condition than what it was when you arrivedFollowing in what I can understand of Roy Bhaskar (he hurts my brain) and critical realism, there exists something beyond us, that is created by us, but cannot just be changed by us. We will never know the truth because there isn't one. But what is important is working together to learn each others idea of truth.

Interests

swimming. being outside in thunderstorms. midnight picnics. 6am at a techno festival. reading. sleeping in the car. roadtrips with my sisters. biking in a busy city. good progressive house at a beach party. sun. being with my nieces and nephews. ultimate frisbee. camping in northern ontario. being schooled in political debates I probably shouldn't have started.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hot spring in the middle of a barren lava field in Iceland
being two metres from a moose and her baby
swimming with sharks in the great barrier reef
swimming with manatee in florida

Beyond the east the sunrise; Beyond the west the sea And East and West the Wander-Thirst that will not let me be; It works in me like madness to bid me say goodbye, For the seas call, and the stars call, and oh! The call of the sky! -gerald gould
