CURRENT MISSION

Putting the gypsy back into travel and life!

ABOUT ME

Visited: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Turkey, Brazil, United States, England, Denmark, India, Spain, France, Portugal, Ukraine, Russia, China, Taiwan, Philippines.

On my way to Brazil (again), Argentina, Costa Rica, South Africa, Bolivia, Honduras, and many more!

One day I woke up in my office cubicle and realized I was missing out on my own life. I decided to sell everything I own and start traveling the world. Nearly two years later, I still want to keep going and continue to discover my passions and dreams.

Travel has changed me forever. And I'm glad for it. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Cambodia, we climbed up the back side of Angkor Wat to watch the sunset. All I remember is Angkor bathed in a vermilion glow while the jungle twittered in the background. Even though there were scads of other tourists around, it felt like we all existed in one perfect moment together. That kinda sums up traveling to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more languages, and absorb other cultures in general. Connecting with people is great.

I can offer a friendly Canadian face who knows a little about life.
