CURRENT MISSION Travel as much of the world and meet as many of its people before I run out of money, or am deported back to Canada ABOUT ME I am a law student at UBC working in Vancouver for the summer. I love travel and working internationally, although it is nice to be home in Canada for a while. PHILOSOPHY I live purely for new experiences, and think that you can only get them by throwing yourself into new places with new people.

The Canadian Rockies. Downhill skiing and biking all over Western Canada.

Couchsurfing my way to Ilovetechno 2008 (and I do love techno) Brussels at Night Shambhala Music Festival under the stars in interior BC Hiked the Great Wall Stared up at the Petronas Towers on a hot Malaysian night Rode an elephant I was groomed by a parrot (apparently my bright colored shirt made me look like a gigantic bird) Watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean Wandering through Angkor Wat on a balmy summer day Seeing the killing fields in Cambodia, and realizing I need to do everything in my power to stop atrocities like that from ever happening again
Teach, Learn, Share
I'll talk about anything academic over a beer. Degrees in Religious Studies and Economics, and working on law, but I much prefer to learn about new areas. Teach me some new recipes. I'm slowly stating to figure out the cooking stuff.
My Interests
Skiing, mountain biking, travelling, meeting people, finding new bars and restaurants, eating new foods, learning new languages and cultures.
