Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To earn good karma, to be intinerant, to learn, & to always escape any ruts I may fall into
ABOUT ME
Have found myself back in Winnipeg and hoping to meet some people interested in hiking, camping, downhill skiing and/or cycling.
Just getting back on CS but will update this more later...
PHILOSOPHY
Despite my best attempts, existentialism seems to run in my veins. But I've learned to embrace the absurd and even a pint tastes good when the world is turned on its head.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once swam a few meters away from a whale shark off the coast of Honduras. Unreal!
