About Me

I'm energetic and outgoing but I do love time to myself. I study folklore and love to learn about cultural habits, history and more...
I am a 24 year old student in St John’s, Newfoundland with an education background in Folklore
and Music, currently involved in the tourism industry. I love to cook, forage, play/go to shows..
Having grown up here I have been active member of the arts community for many years by participating in RPM challenges, local open mics, comedy, Nickel film festivals, puppetry workshops and more.
I also forage and have a personal interest in food security, youth retention and destination
development. I’m currently working on site specific programing for existing tourism destinations
(ie, fairy walks, town storytelling and more) I have a passion for community building,

Oh all the money er'I had I spent it in good company
and all the harm I've ever done, alas it was to none but me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I have a spare room in my home - which is in the core of the cultural downtown waterfront - a large, house, and a lot of stories to share. I want to meet people from all over the world, and this is the best way to do so without leaving the comforts of my own home.

Interests

I've got a knack for the outdoors and especially love foraging! Let me take you to see ice burgs, whales, or come out in the boat and go fishing! I'd also love to cook for you
There are lots of cultural experiences surrounding my little neighbourhood and you don't have to go far to be immersed in them!

Teach, Learn, Share

While folklore can contain religious or mythic elements, it equally concerns itself with the sometimes mundane traditions of everyday life. Folklore frequently ties the practical and the esoteric into one narrative package.
