CURRENT MISSION

To cross as many cities, neighbourhoods, and adventures off my dance card as I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm one of those people who is married to her job and so far in life it's been a happy marriage.

Going on adventures (even just in my home city) is one of my favourite things. I try to say yes whenever possible and find some of the best stories come from things I would never have tried on my own--like paint balling or a city wide game of manhunt.

Other than that I'm creative, passionate, and pretty bubbly.

Lately I've been getting really into cooking and I'm always up for trading recipes or cooking up a storm in the kitchen with a buddy.

PHILOSOPHY

If you say no, nothing happens; if you say yes, something, even if its small, will.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had an amazing opportunity to take a great job this summer that involved giving up my apartment and moving to rural Ontario. So right now I'm looking to couch surf my way across North America until it's time to touch down and get my own couch.
