Hey, thanks for stopping by! I moved to Vancouver two years ago in effort to follow dreams of mine. It has taken me almost just as long to get settled, but in the process I’ve gained a wonderful circle of friends. Although I’ve seen and experienced quite a bit since I came here, I still feel there is so much more. I spend much of my time writing and researching, but I am constantly torn between adventure and spontaneity. My mind thrives on knowledge and although sometimes timid, I usually can’t wait to sink my teeth into a new experience. I’ve come to think of myself as someone who is unique and down to earth, whom can often answer the bigger and more important questions in life, but prefer to keep myself as simple as possible. That means absolutely NO DRAMA, no cheating, no lying, nothing… Like Johnny Cash once said, “I walk the line.” In other words, I’m extremely self-aware and show strong empathy towards others.
