About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new friends and explore the world.

ABOUT ME

My Name is Sean and I am from Ottawa, Canada.
I've been to many places in Canada and the US and also across Europe. I would describe myself as an open minded person who enjoys learning new things and meeting new people. Right now, I am an Entrepreneur in Ottawa and I have recently started my own business. I am always open to business ideas and new ventures. I have a strong interest in Engineering and Foreign Languages. I also like vehicles and transportation in general. I am not very attached to material goods. I don't have many personal possessions and I tend to travel light.

PHILOSOPHY

'be the change you want to see in the world...' -Mahatma Gandhi
