About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work Less, Travel More

ABOUT ME

I consider myself to be a fun loving Canadian who is always up for a laugh. I have lived in 5 Canadian provinces and currently live in Halifax (on the East Coast).

I love traveling, sharing stories, good food, football, wine, beer and just about anything out-doorsy.

PHILOSOPHY

I rarely answer this one without a pint in hand, but the long and short of it is that life is short and there are fun times to be had so make the most of them while you can.

Interests

I am interested in Theatre and Circus Arts (I am an amateur stilt walker/juggler/fire spinner)

I also like sports, hiking, travelling, learning new things...pretty much anything that is fun and challenging :)

I love Cirque Du Soleil! I think they're effing awesome! I have seen 4 of their shows, 2 in London and 2 in Canada and will hopefully see many

Also STOMP! is wicked. Those guys can turn a trash can, a sink, a broom and a dustpan into the most amazing percussion instruments you've ever heard.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite Movies: The Usual Suspects, Crash, Snatch, Blow, Superbad, Knocked Up, Dogma, V for Vendetta, I Robot, Man on Wire and many more.

Books: Ender's Game and Catcher in the Rye. That Shakespeare guy isn't bad either.

Music: Anything really. Currently my favorite hip hop artists are Papoose and Jay-Z.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the Northern Lights in Banff.
Stood on top of a live Volcano in Sicily.
Experienced Euro Cup '08.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will most likely offer to teach you how to juggle (if you don't already know how). Most people can pick it up in about 15 minutes :)

It's a great way to kill time at any train station or while waiting at the airport.

Countries I’ve Visited

Dominican Republic, Greece, Netherlands, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Italy, United Kingdom
