About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to make the most of every day; We are here for only a few days!

ABOUT ME

After spending a few years travelling around Australia and British Columbia picking fruit and inspecting forest landscapes, I decided to settle down in Montréal, QC (Canada) in order to properly educate myself. The process is going well; I just graduated from McGill university where I majored in Anthropology. I will be going back to school in September, but until then I plan on traveling as much as possible.
In the summers I pick cherries in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and whenever I have some free time you can find me at the nearest Vipassana Meditation Center contemplating my nostrils.
More than anything, I enjoy interesting conversations and meeting new people. I look forward to meeting you!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a philosopher. I live my life as artistically as possible.

I'm interested in people, the things they think about, the things they do, and the things they say. Observing others is the first step towards observing oneself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting here, realizing that being here right now writing this is the most amazing thing I've ever done is certainly the most amazing thing I've ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to converse and to share my observations, I guarantee that being with me for even a very short time will be a learning experience. I make this happen by allowing my being with you to be a learning experience for me, too.
