About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel the world and meet locals.

ABOUT ME

i am from a town called victoria, which is on the west coast of canada...actually its on vancouver island (which is west of vancouver).

i just graduated from McGill university in montreal. right now im backpacking in eastern europe. my goal this summer/fall is to travel from tallinn to greece with plenty of stops all over eastern europe.

i have a job starting in december, working as a ski guide in the Italian alps for a british tour company. i am really excited about that.

i love meeting new people and having new experiences. i am pretty laid back and easy to get along with.

i don't know what else to say... I am terrible at writing descriptions of myself...i guess you´ll just have to meet me and see what im like for yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

asking 'what is the meaning of life?' is like asking 'what is the best move in chess?'. the answer to both questions always depends on circumstance. your life has a different meaning in each moment. thus, always ask yourself "what does life ask of me in this moment?"

Interests

wow thats a broad category! i have so many interests...

its like when someone asks ´´what kind of music do you listen to´´. the answer is always ´´a bit of everything´´...what a boring answer, but its true...i dont understand people who only listen to one kind of music.

the human head weighs 8 pounds.

joke of the week:
these three women are in the change room at the golf club when a totally naked man runs through with a paper bag on his head. they are all shocked! the first women says: "well its not MY husband". the second women says "no its definitely not your husband". The third women says "Nope. Hes not even a member of this club".
