Personal Information

Hobbies: I have a strong passion for the outdoors, and I love spending my time in nature. Whether it's hiking, camping, paragliding, snowboarding, splitboarding, or simply relaxing by the lake, I find peace and energy in being outside. I spent five months exploring Southeast Asia and Australia, which gave me a deeper appreciation for different cultures and experiences. For the past two and a half years, I've called Whistler home, and I'm excited about building my future here, embracing everything this incredible place has to offer.
