CURRENT MISSION

To grow up and be a big girl, to say the least...but if you want specifics, I travel to be immersed in cultures (okay, mostly food) and to take cool photos and have "that was cool" moments.

ABOUT ME

Okay let's see...
-I spend way too much time on my computer (when it has internet)
-I love talking about music and artists and going to shows...chances are, we might have some common interests! I have a pretty wide taste.
-I've lived in Ottawa most of my life, but Jakarta when I was born and again when I was 2, and Paris when I was 16 for half a year.
-I'm a huge hockey fan...but if you insist on calling it Ice Hockey, we may need to talk.
-Buzzfeed is a timekiller...I am often entertained by a lot of things, and a lot of little things, and when one thing leads to another, my day's over.
-I like to write. I like to photography. I like to act. I like to (think I know how to) sing. I like listening to music and dreaming up videos in my head.
-I'm a dreamer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, beginning my exchange to England is something I prepared long and hard for. It's something that is happening at the moment, so when I look back at it, I'll think, "Wow". My goal is to do things right NOW and say the same thing. I want to sit on a river at sunset while writing post cards and drinking a bottle of wine, and actually have it be significant.

No, but seriously...I saw an elephant poop once and it was huge. Unbelievable.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wow, so deep!
I can tell you about copious amounts of snow in the great white north, what the gypsies stole from my daddy in Paris, about the great food in Indonesia and how I used to be a teenage fangirl. I often love conversing about bands, their history, what is popular in certain countries and what is coming up.
What I want (or need) to learn from other people is how they deal with opinions of others, or how they deal with certain life situations..especially with growing up, getting jobs, learning to let go, toughen up and disciplining yourself. My conversation topics often go from one tip to the other very quickly...so I'm sure we'll end up at a common topic of interest!
