About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a current mission

ABOUT ME

I love life! I really do! I have some crazy cool experiences, the best of which so far have been in the Dom Rep, Dominica and Canada!
I started my own company making biodiesel, as an educational and environmental initiative, and I still o that for the moment. But now, I'm feeling the need to seek out new experiences. I'm drawn to Montreal right now, and am seriously considering living there for a little while, in hopes of expressing my creativity more and embracing the diversity of life better.

Some of my fav quotes are :
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the weak places. -Ernest Hemingway

You do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body" - C.S. Lewis

If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them.
-Marcus Aurelius

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because there is so much to see and do and feel. I know I can't experience it all in this life, but i'd love to live and long as possible and do as much as possible. I'd also like to come back again, and do more! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every single one of my experiences has been fucken awesome! I've enjoyed every person's company and miss them all when they're gone. I have had my beliefs reinforced every singe time, that human beings are genuinely good spirits.

I have suddenly developed a deep yearning to ice skate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw the shadow of one of Jupiter's moons, thrown onto the clouds of Jupiter itself thru a telescope at our local observatory, and I'll never forget the first time I saw the rings of saturn.
