Hey I'm David from Canada

~slow mornings, barefoot in the jungle, big bowls of fruit, cooking, yoga, meditation, hiking, plants, scuba diving
~Some of my favourite things that make me feel most alive

Description

Welcome to my profile :) my name is David (pronounced Duh-veed)

I'm a 30 year old Canadian solo- traveller with cultural and ethnic roots in Morocco and Italy. In 2022, I quit my job and left Canada to Costa Rica ~ in search of a great perhaps.

With only a 40L backpack and a one-way ticket, I spent two years living and moving through nearly every country in Central and South America. It was there that my love for solo travel, language and cultural immersion, and living guided by intuition and surrender truly took root.

Living in all types of environments, from the Andean mountains, Amazon rainforest, and everywhere in between- wherever intuition has guided me, I’ve answered the call and listened.

Some of my favorite moments in life are what may be considered the simple ones. I feel most like myself during slow (im an early bird) mornings, cooking, yoga, meditation, and being barefoot in nature — especially in the jungle. I love big bowls of fruit, paddle boarding on a lake, hiking, camping, and scuba diving. I’m drawn to emotional intelligence, deep connections, plants, and living a healthy, grounded lifestyle. I’m also happiest when I’m disconnected from social media, lying on the grass, looking up at the trees, and just being present.

I created this profile with the intention of creating a space for meaningful exchange as I continue this journey through Asia — a dream I’ve carried since childhood — living close to the land, learning from those I meet, and contributing through presence and honest work.

More details about my language interests
I was born speaking English and French. While my French is less fluent from lack of use, I became conversational in Spanish through immersion — teaching myself by listening, practicing, and living alongside locals throughout Latin America. I also began learning an Indigenous language during my time living in the Amazon rainforest. Languages are a big part of how I connect with culture (and of course people). I’d love to deepen my Spanish fluency as I plan to move to Latin America, and I’m always excited to learn new languages, including Japanese.

More details about your skills

Along my journey of life, I’ve worked in people-centered environments where presence, communication, and care are essential — from restaurants and childcare, to health, fitness, and most recently patient-centered roles within the Canadian medical space.

Beyond formal work, caring for animals, friends’ and family’s children, and my beloved collection of 30+ exotic plants from the Amazon rainforest feels natural to me. If my hands are in the soil, I’m happy.

I live a healthy, grounded lifestyle rooted in yoga, meditation, and movement, and I’ve always loved being in the kitchen — learning new cultures through food, experimenting, and cooking for others comes naturally to me. I move through life with curiosity, always learning, observing, and open to new ways of being.

What else ...

I’m a self-crowned, undefeated Monopoly champion — while everyone else talks about real estate and investments, I’m quietly setting you up for bankruptcy. 😄

I’m drawn to anything that sparks strategy and out-of-the-box thinking, especially movies. Some of my favorites are Everything Everywhere All at Once, Interstellar, Inception, The Matrix, Avatar, and Star Wars.

I feel most like myself in slow, grounded moments: barefoot in the jungle, big bowls of fruit, cooking, yoga, cacao, meditation, and caring for plants. I also love scuba diving and connecting with people who share a passion for expanding human consciousness.

I recently started teaching myself guitar again, and I’d love to continue learning and improving as I travel.
