Overview
About Me
Canadian, British Columbia born and raised,
been travelling and exploring this beautiful planet on and off since 2012
I'm a self-employed, entrepreneur who wears many hats including artist, alternative healer, lover, dancer and environmental warrior
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
CS is a beautiful way to meet people, exchange culture, language and get a new perspective on the places you visit around the world. As a host, you can have this experience without leaving your home and give back to those who have shared their hospitality with you.
I've had so many amazing travel experiences and friendships that would have came to fruition from this site,
I hope to one day be able to host people at my home in Canada but for now I will continue my mission around the globe.
** Couchsurfing is NOT a dating site (only saying cause I've had some problems with this..) - if you are looking for hook ups, there are plenty of other places to do that! Don't make your guest or your host uncomfortable by making unwelcomed propositions, and please do NOT contact me if you are looking to get laid! Thanks :) **
Interests
I am a creative person by nature, I appreciate all sorts of art especially photography and film
Music, of course, is another priority - discovering new tunes, live shows and jamming on ukulele or guitar (still learning both instruments)
Alternative medicine plays a large role in my life as work and for self-care also; yoga, Ayurveda, TCM
It's important to keep connected with mother nature by getting outside

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Epic Aussie roadtrip from Perth to Darwin by car and of course took on the Gibb River Road
Survived a storm while riding over the Bass Straight on the Spirit of Tasmania
Paragliding in the Himalayas only to puke my guts out when I landed at the bottom
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm very passionate about plants and their medicine, I've also studied permaculture and am always looking to learn more about sustainable, natural systems
Also, love getting my hands dirty in a compost or garden if you have one! :)
Very interested in language exchange; currently practicing/learning Spanish and French and would love to have a study buddy!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Looking to share meals and good chats with my hosts food is the common thread in us all!
Language exchange as mentioned before; English is my first language and I am happy to help if you are learning, I also am fluent(ish) in Russian
I have some farming experience (picking, planting, packing) can work with animals also and am very happy to help on any small farms and learn more about sustainable living.
