Category Archives: NOW…No Opportunity Wasted
It’s usually very difficult to find times when good and fun coincide. Think about it… Good Grades? Comes from studying = not fun. A Good Meal? Not so much fun paying the bill at the end. Good Morning? Only if you’re the only one that enjoys waking up on Monday mornings.
However, there are those rare occasions when Good and Fun cross paths. One of these such situations occurred on April 11th in the heart of downtown Toronto…
By 9pm the house was...

There are fundraisers and then there are fundCHANGERS.
What’s the difference?
Well for one, fundraising usually goes in one direction. It is raising money to give to a good cause and help benefit the work they do. They’re great, but I struggle with the whole ‘patronizing’ aspect of them as well as the ‘give and forget’ problem it usually creates.
FundCHANGERS on the other hand go both directions. What I mean by that is although money is raised to...
I’M BACK!!! And this time indefinitely!
As I touched down on November 15th in Toronto, I had to pinch myself; despite all that had happened, did I really just complete my full placement? Three months ago it was all a nightmare, but three days ago it was the beginning of a dream. Decked out in my favourite smock – which drew a lot of attention, especially from Chicago’s security – I greeted my parents and headed home, but this time on much...
Dear friends, family, and soon-2-be friends,
I am in utter awe of the support I’ve been receiving for my recent pushes for the position of GAP Adventures COOLEST TRAVEL INTERN!! For those of you who don’t know, Gap Adventures has been a world leader and innovator in sustainable adventure travel since 1990. They invite people to explore a world of tours infused with inspiration and excitement that will take you off the beaten track into the real heart of the destination....
So I’m in the Top 11… but that still doesn’t make me the COOLEST TRAVEL INTERN! To be the best, you have to show why you ARE the best… and sometimes that means taking risks, and hoping they pay off!
Bruce, YOU are the inspiration for letting us applicants/candidates tap into our deep creative geniuses and take these risks… it’s YOUR reasons for getting fired from two fast food jobs and then creating the WORLD’S LARGEST ADVENTURE TRAVEL COMPANY that give us...
He received applications from all around the world… from hot sands of South America to the beautiful waters of Australia… it was for a once in a lifetime chance to become GAP Adventures COOLEST TRAVEL INTERN… a worldwide contest initiated by GAP’s CEO himself, Bruce Poon Tip… the list is now down to the TOP 11…
AND I’M ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to everyone who helped support me in this initiative! I WON’T let you down!!!
Finalists for...
So the other day, after having it recommended to me a number of times, I finally plunged into “The Alchemist.” To say I’m enjoying it would be an understatement; to find a book that relates so much to my life right now is pretty incredible, and well kind of scary at the same time. As Paulo Coelho (No we’re not technically related, although I’m starting to think we are!!) follows the journey of a boy who embarks on the search for his destiny, there are many messages...
From My Mind
Imagine you could change the world with 2 words. Well you can, and it's simply your name. Your name not only defines you, but it represents YOUR thoughts and interests... thoughts that lead to actions, and interests that drive passion... it's these very elements that shape the world we see today. We are all part of this; each and every one of us in our own unique way. What you are about to read is a collection of my thoughts and interests... my attempts to change the world...
