ABOUT ME

Hello world, my name is Christie :)

I love being in or close to nature.. the forest, water, mountains, open spaces... hiking, kayaking, beach lounging, walks anywhere serene...
I enjoy a delicious meal more than almost anything else. Food is life, and eating is an experience that engages you through all your senses. You smell, see, listen to, taste, and feel when you eat. Cooking is a creative activity that you get to experience and internalize, (and I guess externalize too), fully- it connects people and brings joy. What activity could be better?

Just as content with a quiet spot, some thoughts and a piece of paper, as going out dancing to bad music. I like to live slowly, and try to truly enjoy all moments as the come, but also as they pass.

Music, Movies, and Books

I say variety is best, and my tastes are always changing, but if you must judge me right now,.. the last film I watched was probably half of a Woody Allen film, and I'm currently listening to Neutral Milk Hotel and reading The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts. Music-wise, I like everything from jazz to indie pop to ambient metal to Beyonce (yes, who can deny it?). I really love going to live shows and feeling the energy swirling around, no matter what type of music. I like being a spectator of all types of performance.. poetry, theatre, musicals, comedy..

Always open to watching, listening and reading new things, so share some of your favourites with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking beside orca whales on Vancouver Island, or maybe soaking in geothermal hotsprings nested between mossy mountains of Iceland..

But to be completely honest, some of my most memorable days are those filled with great company, great food, and some sunshine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to bind a book, draw, sew, cook, share what I see through my eyes.. maybe tell a bad joke or 2.

Everyone has something to share, I can tell you stories from my own experience, and hopefully you will share some of yours too.
