I am a life loving optimist that has caught the travel bug. I sold all of my assets and decided to travel solo to Southeast Asia. I used to work as a behavioral therapist with autistic kids and I also managed a bar for 3 years ---- now I am teaching science and math in English to children in Thailand. If and when I go back to Canada, I might pursue an after degree in nursing. I love adventure, especially those that are off the beaten track.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for like minded travelers! I am also excited to host people that need a place to stay and need help in any way. I have met fantastic people already and this is what life is all about.

Interests

I love anything to do with animals - particularly dogs. People fascinate me and I love any place with a beach. I love coffee, nintendo, yoga, meditation, swimming in the ocean, snorkelling, playing crib, playing darts, geocaching, bike riding, looking at the stars, finding seedy pubs, motorbiking through plateaus in Laos, and the beaches in Thailand, rollerblading, playing arcade games, browsing street markets, eating clean.....
