CURRENT MISSION

To become a polyglot.

ABOUT ME

Pretty easy-going and usually get along with all types of people. I find the humor in almost anything and I tend to have a sarcastic sense of humor. Very independent but like to have a close group of friends to rely on and vice-versa :)

PHILOSOPHY

I highly believe in and have experienced the law of attraction: think and speak the things which you want to become true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volcano boarded down the Cerro Negro in Nicaragua. Jumped from a 80-foot cliff into the sea in Greece. Bungie-jumped from a 240-foot bridge in Costa Rica. Climbed Mount Toubkal, Northern Africa's highest peak. BUT the all time most unbelievable experience was the 953 kilometer walk through the Camino de Santiago, the ancient pilgrimage route throughout France and Spain. I want to go sky-diving!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone how to play tennis! I've played and coached all my life. I can tell people about places I've lived in Canada and the US. I would love to practice my Spanish while helping someone else learn English.
