Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To find the best egg salad
ABOUT ME
I like causing trouble...throwing the after party...Settlers of Cattan and other German Board games...having long drawn out passionate conversations about everything..., working at several things at once all the time, knitting, belly dancing and tiramisu.
I'm five feet tall, multilingual, feisty Canadian girl with south Asian roots and a love of adventure
PHILOSOPHY
âSometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.â(Neil Gaiman)
"...know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you." (Neil deGrasse Tyson)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've just started meeting and spending time with couch surfers in Toronto, but I've written an article about couchsurfing for the magazine I contribute to: Alternavox.net
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I've just had many positive interactions with couchsurfers. I hope to host and surf in the near future.

Teach, Learn, Share
I think curiosity is the key to happiness and growth - so I love meeting new people who are doing things that are very different from me - idea people, who like share and who are interested in the world and the beings in it. If you're the smartest person in the room, you should be very worried!!
