  • Description

    Canadian traveler seeking fulfilling experiences within many facets of life and culture. I find myself loving the process of meeting new people and doing things I never would have imagined without getting out of my comfort zone. I've always been an introvert, but that hasn't stopped me from putting myself out there and learning/discovering all the ways of the world and the people in it. I find joy in seeing and doing new things, eating interesting foods, having unique moments, and being a part of something bigger than myself. My motivation lies within the world around me, and having a sense of curiosity for nature and the environment is a big part of that.
