About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the life you love

ABOUT ME

Greetings :)

I am an adventurous free spirit. I truly have a genuine heart and it is my mission to spread love to all the People I meet. Whether that be a smile, or warm embrace or a shared meal, conversation.. Any authentic connection. Traveling is def a priority in life. I have my master's degree in counseling and spiritually
And aim to dedicate my life to outdoor therapy for troubled youth. Outside is the only office I can imagine! I am known to say, I love living, many times a day. I tend to have a yo yo in my hand too often :p

Many more run facts when we embrace in person
Peace n love

PHILOSOPHY

It is all in a perspective. I live every day as an adventure. And I do not think this has to have a time limit, to grow up, and grow out of it. This is not my life. I give as often as I can, and as selflessly as I can. Because of this I receive the most amazing things in life. I LOVE LIVING <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to offer my couch to people. But now I live in a camper van. Don't get me wrong there are many, many beautiful people that sleep in that van. At one point we had 7! But it is time for me to receive the gifts I have given.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I would say the best has been allowing many once strangers, now friends, enter into my camper van without question. The evening it started to rain while we camped on the beach, we all scrambled into the van for protection.Four in the bed, one in the hall, and two in the driver and passenger chairs. Drinks and laughter flowing. The next morning at work was interesting to say the least.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just had the opportunity to fly, yes I flew :D, a water plane to the hot springs in Tofino.I spent the night alone under a sky of bright stars, singing and laughing into the night, playing my eukalali and camped in solitude...
