Traveller - Adventurist - Nature lover. A Canadian by nationality, but certainly a mixed bag in terms of identity ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ ๐ฒ๐พ ๐ช๐ธ . Iโm a teacher and aim to inspire a generation of youth. However corny it may sound, teaching through guided effort, care and discussion is something I enjoy most and think it can make a difference in peopleโs lives. If youโre planning to backpack to Europe, India, South east Asia or East Asia or countries Iโve lived in I can share some good tips for your travels ๐งณ Having spent the past couple of years living in different countries and travelling through a few, I've realized that people aren't that different overall......but yet individually we all remain quite unique. I'm a simple person, who becomes ever more complicated once I step into the kitchen. I believe food is a way to express ourselves and communicate with others. Therefore, some meaningful effort to cook a meal is always worth it ๐. In my free time, I like to read and discuss contemporary global politics, economy and culture. Besides, I like to spend time outdoors taking a neighborhood walk or visiting a local cafรฉ. Those are some of the most characteristic features of my personality as I'm always looking to build on it by learning something new which people could bring to my life, which is the main reason Iโm on CS. Even though Iโm new to Ottawa, if youโre visiting me I can promise you a nice walk in the city, some nice tea, coffee or beer and perhaps some dinner if you have the patience to join me in the kitchen to cook something nice ๐ P.S. Since Iโve lived in various cities in Germany and have travelled the lengths and breadths of this country, I would be happy to share any contacts and information you need about Germany ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ค
