About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel till my money runs out...get job!

ABOUT ME

I like to travel and meet new and interesting people that I can learn from....hopefully I can give something back as well. I try to enjoy life as much as I can along the way...I like to be around people who have the same philosophies.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to meet new people, share experiences and share stories. I think the world is always becoming a smaller place, and people can relate to each other and learn from each other more than they can imagine. Travel is a great way to do this...and I don't intend to ever stop, it is the best education out there!

Interests

Books, movies, music and travel...pretty much sums up how I have lived my life so far!

  • books
  • education
  • meditation
  • movies

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to work at a bookstore, this question is too broad! Let's go with some favourites, just from the last few months.

The Poisenwood Bible- Barbara Kingsolver
The Reader- Bernard Schlink
Shadow of the Wind- Carlos Ruiz Zafon

The Way (Martin Sheen/Emilio Estevez)
I know it's not a movie, but I have been thoroughly enjoying 'The Tudors' recently!

Music- Yeasayer- Angus & Julia Stone- Two Door Cinema Club- Arcade Fire- The Eels

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched a cataract surgery being done in real life in Cambodia...now that was really something!

Also, I spent 10 days at a silent buddhist meditation retreat...that's right, I didn't talk for 10 days! (Don't worry, I do usually have a little more to say than nothing)
