About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to kick-ass at life!

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as a spunky, outgoing, ginger hailing from Montreal, Canada. Think: Pippi Longstocking meets Tank Girl. Though I may come across as a girl who enjoys serious art and excel spread sheets, deep down I'm a crunchy granola hippie who just wants everyone to hug each other.

PHILOSOPHY

You are an adventure story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and boarding. On waves and boards... and couches.

If I have the pleasure of surfing in your crib, you can expect me to be a courteous, clean, organized, and respectful kind of gal. I always like to show people my appreciation in a variety of ways; cooking, cleaning, gardening, or buying small gifts. You won't ever have to pick up after me since I will respect your space. And I'm a fairly good communicator so I'll always ask questions to make sure your expectations are crystal clear. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a lovely experience in Sydney, Australia. Looking forward to meeting my next host!

Interests

I enjoy taking long walks on the beach (ha, ha), doing yoga, meditating, making yummy healthy food, engaging in outdoor activities and sports, camping, travelling, exploring, seeing art/film/dance/theatre, reading fiction and self-help books, meeting new people, challenging myself, learning new things, holistic and natural health... Um, what else? I always enjoy a good joke, I guess. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Ok. This question is no fair. So I'll just tell you one of each category off the top of my head.

Movie: Twelve Angry Men

Music: Iron Maiden

Book: I'm currently reading The 100 Mile Diet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where to start? I've had the opportunity to meet some extraordinary people, attend some amazing institutions, travel to several epic countries, engage in a plethora of challenging jobs, and partake in a slew of life-changing projects. It's been a pretty darn good life so far and I look forward to next 80 or so years of it. ;) If you wanna hear about any of these stories in more detail then please accept me as your surfer or come board with me at my place. We'll have a good old chat over some tea and board games.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some healthy meals. Or basic piano. Or basic ballet. Or all three at the same time?

Oh! I also speak French and have experience tutoring so you could learn a new language if you're interested!

I really want to learn how to solve a Rubiks cube and juggle. But I'm open to learning anything new, really. Except taxidermy. Just ew.
