My current mission is to make every day an adventure. Whether I take a new bike trail to work, use a different font in an email, or turn my kitchen into a dance floor, I strive to be as creative as possible.

I love to ride the roller coaster in West Edmonton Mall, throw the frisbee around in one of Edmonton's many parks, and mountain bike through North America's largest urban parkland: The North Saskatchewan River Valley.

I studied Kinesiology in University but I'm a firm believer that the bulk of my education and auh-maz-ingness has come from getting lost and finding myself on my adventures at home and abroad.

For fun and some pocket cash, I work as a Segway Tour Guide in the River Valley but my passion is reproductive health. I am a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and I help women chart their menstrual cycles and naturally balance hormones for improved health, pregnancy planning, and natural birth control.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe that happiness is shared. Most of my experiences with couch surfing have been as a surfer and I usually travel on my own. Couchsurfing has given me the opportunity to explore new places, experience a new culture, and share it all with someone local. Love it! When I'm at home, I love to do the same for others. One of my dreams is to have a host I've had abroad come visit me in my country so I can return the incredible hospitality I've received. Until then, I'm happy to host you! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can save your life - or just teach you CPR. :) I can show you around the salsa scene in Edmonton or take you SWING DANCING! Ever want to learn how to play the first part of Fur Elise on the piano? I can show you that. I can give you a peek at Tribal Fusion Belly Dancing or help you crotchet your own scarf if you plan on surviving in Canada through the winter! As a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner, I am passionate about body literacy and fertility awareness and my tribe of women all over the world! So ask me about charting and I'm more than happy to compare menstrual cycles! :).... Or just come to swap books and stories!
