CURRENT MISSION

Discovering new culture and world's cuisine, and a very in-depth travel within my own self

ABOUT ME

I am very open minded and used to adapt very quickly to different culture and setting. I love to understand the how and why of different culture

I love eating, cooking and discovering world's cuisine. I hope to come back from my world trip with many new recipes from the world that I can do again and again in memories of good time around the world :)

I am very positive in my way of seeing life, love creativity, arts, chatting and long walks.

I adore children and their special way of seeing the world with a little magic in their eyes, and love my job so much that I feel so lucky to have it.

PHILOSOPHY

Stop. Breath in. Smile. And LIVE.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Update: we will be on "break" for a few months as we travel from Calgary to Mexico by van and then move to Thailand where we will start again hosting probably sometimes around Sept-Oct 2016 :)

After long time using couchsurfing only to surf at other people's house, I finally have the ability to give back and host too :D So happy that this is finally an option and we wait to meet new people and host them in our little home (with my boyfriend Archie: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/mr.canadian.traveler).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my 10 months trip around the world and then many more times during my bike trip around the North Sea Cycle Route with my boyfriend, I had many amazing experiences of couchsurfing. It has been awesome to meet amazing people....definitely have been recommending couchsurfing to everyone I talk to since then and am so happy to finally have our own place and be able to host as well ^.^
The thing I love most of couchsurfing is the exchange between people. It's back to relationship with others. You trust strangers, give them some of your time, take care of them and share some time, experiences and ideas. It is just one of the most beautiful things in life!
