CURRENT MISSION

To find a place where I fit, and to enjoy the search

ABOUT ME

I'm born and bred Canadian, but am half American, half German. I love learning about other cultures and getting involved. I love to make things myself (anything from spinning wool to baking bread) and to discover little places that are genuine (independent cafes, microbreweries, etc.). I like chilling in the park, in the cafe, or in the pub. Most of all I enjoy talking ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I've only got one life, and no one else can live it for me. I want to be happy and, if I'm lucky, leave the world a bit better for having had me in it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much anything... but no screaming in the music (or much in movies for that matter :) ). I'm particularly interested in Ska/Funk or anything melodic. I love fantasy books, especially ones for children :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam in the Rio Negro (tributary to the Amazon River) after having fished for Piranhas! There's not really any danger, but when you have an over-active imagination...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can teach you how to spin, knit, dye wool... if you're a bit new agey, I can introduce you to Nia (yoga meets Martial arts and dance). If you come in the winter, I'll show you how to make a snowball or a snowman, or how to go shoe shoeing. I want to learn about where YOU come from. I want to learn about what's different to you and WHY.
