About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world. End injustice.

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance writer, editor and graphic designer (www.freelancewrite.org) from Oakville, Canada. I was just living in Paris, France for two years, which was incredible. While in Europe, I met a lot of cool couch surfers.

I work with a lot of non-profit organizations, labour unions and other progressive groups.

I'm very involved with left-wing politics and other progressive activities.

And of course, I love to travel!

PHILOSOPHY

A bit of Marx and Rousseau mixed with some Chomsky.

Socialist democracy is the answer.

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
- Mahatma Gandhi.
