CURRENT MISSION

Become a traveling artisan

ABOUT ME

I'm an environmentalist/feminist/artist/transient. I love having fun and laughing. I try to live life to the fullest while caring for the environment and people's rights. I believe in animal rights and I´m a vegetarian. I love to travel, I've seen almost coast to coast of Canada and I traveled 13 countries and 25 cities in Western Europe in the spring of 2008. I'm in the middle of planning a trip to Mexico, Central America and South America this fall. My spare time (when I have some) goes to crafting and creating art. I'm open minded and love learning new things everyday, oh the joy of traveling. I love dancing and raves and music all together. I've had more than one person tell me I look like peter pan or other cartoon characters. I'm not much for planning, I think it makes life more interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to love, laugh, smile and experience everything in full.
I don't think you should run unless you are being chased.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Appreciating all those willing to offer their home and being as welcoming as I possible can to future guests of mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CouchSurfing experience has been more than what words can describe. I started couch surfing at the beginning of my Europe trip on Feb. 28 in 2008 and I was able to couch surf my whole 3 month trip all with the help of couch surfing and the amazing people involved with it. I have a tonne of amazing memories and several lasting friendships. I now look forward to hosting people so I can offer what I was given by so many.

Interests
