CURRENT MISSION

I'm going on a brief stint around Europe to find myself and lose myself.

ABOUT ME

I like to meet new people and welcome old friends. I love to read, write, go for walks and bake cheesecake. Facts are fun- if you mention random trivia I will remember it.

PHILOSOPHY

You regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did.
The people or things that become important to you are always the ones you didn't expect would.
Knowledge is ALWAYS an advantage- learn from the mistakes of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurf and I hang out at CS events in my hometown.
*I'm unable to host right now because I don't have my own place and my housemates aren't comfortable hosting people they don't know. When I move out in a few years I'll likely be able to host people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed once (in fact, I'm still staying at his place right now) for my first solo travel experience. Will do it again.

Interests

I love to learn, write, ride my bike, jog, read, have conversations, walk aimlessly around cities, and stay at home with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I attempted to hitch hike on Vancouver Island at night to get to a friend's house.

Teach, Learn, Share

Stuff I learned from the School of Hard Knocks:
1. Approach the shy people at a party. They hide the fact that they`re super interesting. They will change your life.
2. When someone offers you a gift, don`t be wary of being obligated to them. Accept life`s gifts, say thank you, and one day return the favour to the person. It`s difficult to start out your dreams, so everyone must support each other.
3. The things and the people who become important to you are often those that you don`t expect.
4. Life should have pauses for moments and rest. Remember to HAVE FUN!!!
