Curious, reflective and artistic. I love adventures and documenting them through photography and film. I grew up moving from cities in Asia to Canada so I've always had a passion for travelling.

I just graduated from university in Canada, and am starting a demanding office job in September. But before then I'd like to cross all the things I've always wanted to do off my bucket list! Those things include: Drink cheap wine by the Seine in Paris, see the Sistine Chapel, look at David in Florence, ride the camel in the Sahara Desert, and learn how to make paella in Spain, etc.
