About Me

Total nerd, love the outdoors and life in general (I guess that would be why I did a biology degree). Fun loving, easy going, active, and friendly.

Looking to pack in some adventures because who knows what the future holds! I try to take all the opportunities I possibly can while still finding some down time. Would love the chance to couchsurf through some new places and get to know some new folks!

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC - Neo-Soul, Soul, RnB, HipHop, Rap, Rock, Folk

MOVIES - Anything thought provoking, really.

BOOKS - I've always read a lot of fantasy, favourites include the "Kingkiller Chronicles" by Patrick Rothfuss and "Gentlemen Bastards" by Scott Lynch. Lately I've been branching out into non-fiction, especially reading about ethnobotany of various regions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm, this is tough. I've been very fortunate to have the chance to travel some incredible landscapes and be inspired by the beauty of life.

I would say that one such adventure to Haida Gwaii was amazing. I'd never before felt as connected to the non-human world as I did that trip. Incredible thousand year old forest meeting white sand beaches studded with ancient rocks, without a single person in sight. Every moment I was conscious of the implausible beauty of my surroundings. That experience really changed my view on relating to the world around me - I think it took that supreme beauty to open my eyes to the wonders around me. Now I'll spend 15 minutes staring at a clump of moss with my magnifying glass
