About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am just trying to find my way in life and discover myself through traveling the globe as much as possible and have a fun and safe time!!

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old musician who works for the Canadian Government part time. I love music and travelling! I have been to Greece twice as a child, first time when I was 9, then when I was 12, and 13 years later, I have ended up in Greece again on a holiday! I don't what it is about travelling but it just runs through my veins and I always crave it, and meeting new people of course. As for the musician in me, I have been playing music since I was 13, and the passion has only gotten stronger over the years. I live at home with my parents, we have 3 dogs (1 being a puppy), and I have 2 little brothers who are everything to me, they are almost 5 & 7. I've worked full time for the past 5 years as a manager in retail, I didn't like the abuse anymore, so I left :p. I don't really know what else to say, I love playing soccer and squash! Going to movies, football and hockey games, and being around my friends and family as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be flexible, and don't worry" I live life to be as healthy, both physically and mentally as possible. I live to try new things and experience life as much as I can. I believe that life experience and having life smarts are FAR more important than just being book smart and more important than studying for a peice of paper you were probably pressured to get before you finished high school. That said, I have been to University and plan going back with the smarts that I have learned from being in the working world. Oh and let others live their life how they want, what they go home to, who they sleep with, if it doesn't affect you in any way, don't let it. :) "Love the ones who treat you right, forget the ones that don't" & "Think of yourself as the other person".
