About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to enrich my suburban, sheltered life with different experiences and cultures. I also love to eat different desserts.

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Thompson. I'm an architecture student studying in Ottawa, Ontario but I'm originally from the Toronto suburbs. I recently completed an exchange semester in Istanbul, Turkey. It was an incredible experience and I plan to continue my travels around Europe and Asia within the next 3 years. I hope to experience a great deal of architecture, delicious food, and queer culture in this beautiful side of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Aim to be progress-oriented rather than product-oriented.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The fact that I completed an exchange in Istanbul has been nothing short of an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a native English speaker, so if you want to practice your English I'd love to help with that!

I enjoy playing teacher now and then, but I ultimately love to learn. I want to learn about cities, the histories behind them, the stories behind the buildings, the stories behind the people... Let's share stories!
I also love learning languages. I would love to practice my French, Vietnamese and Turkish. In the past I have studied Spanish and Japanese for a year, so I'd be open to pick up on those two as well!
If you want to exchange some recipes, I would be more than happy to teach you what I know about Vietnamese cooking. My mother is the best chef, and I am still learning from her. I'd love to be able to come back home to her and make teach her some recipes I've learned on my travels.
