I am a professional dance artist and teacher from Vancouver, Canada. I love to travel for work and play and am always seeking interesting individuals to share stories and good times with.

I believe in following dreams and taking the road less traveled. Positive energy goes far and has this magical way of coming back to you.

I am traveling East Coast Australia June 30 - August 10, 2016 and am interested in connecting with locals from the area, in particular those involved in dance/movement/arts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying in hotels alone is boring (and expensive!), and while hostels can be fun, I am not interested in drunken foolery night after night. Looking for a different travel experience where I can engage with people I might not normally meet who I can learn new things from.

Many artists (especially dancers) are nomads at heart. Although I have a lovely home in Vancouver, I do have a gypsy soul and would love to meet other dance professionals in cool places around the world.
