I'm a Canadian traveler on a mission to visit 50 countries by the end of the year (currently on number 42). I love getting to know a place through the eyes of locals or other fellow travellers.

I'm an open-minded and easy going person, always down to meet up with other people for a coffee or a drink, listen to live music, dance, go hike, or grab some food!

I grew up in Vancouver, Canada and have lived, studied and worked in Montreal, London, Australia, and most recently in San Francisco, where I worked in a tech startup.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and going to concerts, festivals or any live music event. I am pretty open to all genres of music but I mostly listen to indie rock, hip-hop, alt R&B and house/electronic music. Some of my favourite artists are: Glass Animals, Anderson Paak, Jamie xx, Kaytranada, Childish Gambino, Tame Impala..

I also enjoy reading and love taking recommendations. My favourite books are Norwegian Wood and The Alchemist.

I like movies with a good story, beautiful cinematography and musical score.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help teach English and would love to learn Spanish, French or any new language. If you surf, I would love to go for a session and learn more.

I also enjoy swapping travel stories and tips/recommendations.
