Just moved to Vancouver!!! Current dream is to find a boat to hangout on, hehe. I am a Canadian who grew up doing “Canadian” things: playing lots of hockey, canoeing lots of rivers, and eating lots of poutine.... I'm a go-getter with a love for travel, the outdoors, music, exploring different cultures, and meeting new people. I love long baths, long books, long hikes, long legs (wine ppl come on) long nights out with friends (new and old!), and most of all long sleeps.
