CURRENT MISSION

Spread positivity and love, meet quirky individuals EVERYWHERE!

ABOUT ME

Adventurous of course, but aren't we all?
I have spent the past few years working in an office for 6 or 7 months, and taking full advantage of time off by travelling & volunteering. Africa has my heart, I'd like to work for a charity some day, and I lean to the left of the spectrum.
I LOVE strangers. Meeting new people and getting to know their passion makes me feel so alive. I think there is a way to appreciate everyone (:

PHILOSOPHY

Love everyone. Don't worry. Roll with it. Stay positive. Love even harder. Appreciate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host and surf. Give and accept. Giggle and learn and be moved.

**I cannot host at the moment as I am on a round-the-world trip with my fiancé!

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've travelled around north America, Europe, through central america, Ecuador and the Galapagoes - where the animals run the show! I thought New Zealand was the most gorgeous place I'd been to.. til I trekked across Africa and fell in love with Namibia (SO. MUCH. MAGNIFICENCE!!) and the Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater.
I've walked lion cubs. Jumped from planes. Slept in a tent for months amidst giraffes and elephants and hyenas. Been proposed to in the Vatican (ha!). Been bit by a sea lion while snorkeling. Delivered food to families in Africa's largest slum.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lil French, peut-etre, and can definitely beat you at scrabble.. though the game will seem endless. I can make you one heck of a mixed CD.
I'd like to learn to cook a bit! Or at least how to enjoy doing it.. and I am on a quest to discover more patience within myself, if you can help me with that (:
I want to learn anything and everything!
