About Me

CURRENT MISSION: awesome drone video and photo!

Started a drone provider service in 2015 "Team Adcor".

ABOUT ME

Canadian who has lived in many places, learned lots of trades and skills, met lots of amazing people and still has the desire more than ever to travel and share. Last 7 years I have been living near Hamburg, Germany. Take trips with a VW campervan to Spain, Italy, France etc.

PHILOSOPHY

respect life, yourself and those around you. find out the truth right from the begining, don't waste your time and others on bullshit. Live life to the fullest.

Music, Movies, and Books

I guess it would be best just to check out my facebook page. otherwise, I like DiCaprio, Woody Allen, Ridley Scott, Coppola, De Niro, Bogart, Hitchcock, 2001, the MATRIX, and of course Tom Hanks...
but I love a lot of European and Aussie flicks too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

rode the Rocky Mountaineer to Jasper... swam with whales off of the Baja, and dolphins (twice in the wild) Picked mushrooms with bears and had cougars on my tail. Sang gospel in San Francisco at the Glide Memorial Church. Saw a triple rainbow, the space shuttle, a gigantic falling star, the northern lights, a triple sundog.... chased an eagle and almost took his fish, caught a bird in flight with my bare hand, walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, rode a race horse, drove on the Grand Prix of Monaco circuit the morning of a race, met the Dalai Lama... Saw Land's End on a sunny day, visited Tintagel, Slept in a mayan temple in Mexico, climbed the steps of Tikal, walked the dunes of Morocco and sang in Joshua tree at a folk festival

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and sharing what I know with others. I have taught at university, community centers, youth centers / given private lessons and independent one on one coaching. I have developed an accelerated method to learning a language in less than 3 months. Traveling as well as living in foreign countries has helped me get along with people as well as improve my knowledge of different cultures and customs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

cooking, music, knowledge, lend a hand if needed.
language tips... I am a qualified English teacher :)
can also help with French!
