About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a traveller, not a tourist.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Canadian photojournalist and soon-to-be law student. My desire is to meet people in the countries I visit and make lasting connections. I have little interest in "seeing the sights," but would rather get to know a place through its people.

PHILOSOPHY

This philosophy was stolen from a German cabinetmaker I met in a London airport:

"The people you know, your family, friends, your intimate social network: they are your world. If you make a positive change in their lives, you've changed your world."
