About Me...

Born Victoria, BC 1984.

Left Victoria at the age of 3 months and moved up island to Qualicum Beach where I grew up.

Very active in sports. Over the years Ive been involved in soccer, baseball, hockey, basketball, volleyball, rugby, and snowboarding.

Just before high school, my family and I moved to Coombs where I picked up new hobbies such as dirtbiking, 4x4ing, and sport shooting. While in high school, I was involved with a youth outdoors group called Adventures Anonymous. In this club I learned many outdoors skills and went on many exciting trips such as rock climbing, white water kayaking, and back country snowboarding/snow caving. After graduating high school, I then moved to Victoria to attend college. During college I joined the Canadian Scottish Regiment (army reserves.) This has added to my bush craft knowledge, and sense of adventure.

Upon graduating from college, I moved home, and started working in Nanaimo where Ive been employed for the last two years.

Places Ive travelled to in the past include Hawaii, continental US, and Mexico.

Travelling independently has always been in the back of my mind so finding somebody to share the trip of a lifetime with has made this dream become a reality.
