CURRENT MISSION

To continue my ever evolving personal journey to peacefully and harmonically experience the world, life, people, and nature.

ABOUT ME

I started most of my traveling in 2005 when I worked as a DJ on cruise ships around the world, and I've been fortunate to have experienced many amazing places and met lots of wonderful people since then. No matter what direction life takes me, travelling is a constant goal and experience that remains at the core of my being.

I also love music, being vegan, learning, meeting people, good conversation, friends and family.

The Vancouver area has been my home for my whole life, and as much as I love travelling, I always enjoy returning to this beautiful city, especially in the summertime.

I work as a DJ and a music programmer. Music is a huge part of my life, and I'm grateful to be able to make a living doing what I love.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Too many things to list!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can cook delicious vegan meals and bake tasty vegan goodies for you! I have a great passion for learning, and sharing knowledge and experiences with others is one of my very favourite things. School is much too structured for my liking, so I especially seek out ways to learn from and exchange knowledge with others.
