ABOUT ME

I'm from the Canadian Prairies and currently live in Winnipeg. The city is not perfect, but the people make it a fun place to be, but good friends can make any place great. I love my job and I work a lot, but I reward myself with going out every evening and weekend possible. Biking, swimming and camping are things I love to do, as well as going to pubs, watching live music, drinking beer on patios and balconies, taking long bus trips, and reading on beaches. I'm usually up for anything and will try everything once. I think I'm pretty easy to get along with and I can find at least one thing in common with everyone - some people I can talk to for hours and others for years, either way I can talk to anyone!

***living in Victoria, BC now! updates to come!
