CURRENT MISSION

To grow some Balls, bite the bullet, take the plunge, and get the hell travelling!

ABOUT ME

I am a Canadian Woman who is just travelling for the first time. I leave in January. I'm outgoing and introspective. I enjoy my privacy but love to be around people with a similar attitude as mine. I love to joke around and think I am great person to be around. I am comfortable with who I am, happy with the decisions I've made in life. I am skin and bones turning into something beautiful.

PHILOSOPHY

Leap and the net will appear.
There's no certainty, only opportunity.
If your keys fall into a pool of molten lava, forget it man, they're gone.
I live my life the way I do cause there's nothing worse in life than doing something you don't want to do.
Simplicity movement.
I don't have one personal philosophy. Its all about doing what makes you happy, staying calm in the face of adversity, and living with the fact that you have CONTROL over your life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to the Canadian Arctic twice. I have seen Baffin Island, Inuit, polar bears, -73 degrees celcius. Sometimes the most amazing things are the most mundane and the everyday, and for that reason, there are too many to mention.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play Guitar (so can everyone).
I can speak French.
I can read Tarot (with the intruction book).
I'm into doing what you can to help oneself. Self-education. Practical knowledge.
I would love to learn how to crochet. I knit...only in straight lines.
I want to climb with experienced climbers who want to show me the stuff. Cause I'm good. Just need some patient guidance.
