About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travelling around western Canada, and then Europe for close to a year, working in england and France

ABOUT ME

I am currently a traveller, working as a cook in restaurants around Canada, and Europe, and probalbly eventually Central America and the Caribbean. Will be working in Finance as a career eventually. Very esay-going guy, that is always interested in meeting new people, and learning. Love to cook, discuss, laugh, drink and travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Do to others what you would like them to do you. Actually, the Rolling stones sum it well: "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you might just see that you get what you give"
