Connected as Jordan Bower (923 friends)
Jordan Bower is a Canadian storyteller exploring cross-cultural relationships in the globalizing world. Educated in business, he began pursuing an artistic path after a Quarter Life Crisis took him to India for the first time in 2007.
In 2010, he purchased all the advertising space inside a Toronto public streetcar and replaced the ads with photographs of people he'd met while travelling. He rode the streetcar for hours each day, talking with strangers and experimenting uniquely with encouraging vulnerability in public space.
From 2010 to 2011, he completed a 316 day, 1,800 mile walking journey down the West Coast of the USA seeking wisdom about coming of age. He's currently working on telling the story beautifully and honestly using creative multimedia.
When he's not travelling, he plays competitive ultimate frisbee, hikes in the forest, and drinks chai over intense conversation.
