CURRENT MISSION

To swim in every ocean and push my feet into the soil of every continent

ABOUT ME

I am from Canada, and as such I am suspicious about hot climates. I am putting off making big life decisions by studying English literature....I like to run, do yoga, paddle around in a canoe, cook things and read books...

PHILOSOPHY

be open and live now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had good experiences so far.....CS has opened my eyes to the sheer amount of beautiful truly good people in the world..this cynic is being converted....

Interests

I like farmer's markets, even though saying that makes me sound like a trite yuppie. I am secretly obsessed with fashion blogs. I am a certified climbing instructor and I like a good climbing wall, but havent really climbed anything else yet (one day).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some things I am HOPING to do, one day:
Run a marathon
Live in Paris
Bike the Camino de Santiago
Learn to make macarons

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, I kind of know how to, and I love to be in the kitchen. Ask and I will feed.

I do yoga nearly every day so while I am far from being a certified teacher I could certainly lead you through a (Moksha) practice...then again if you know a thing or 2 about yoga you could probably teach me.
I'm hoping to run a half marathon sometime in the next year so if you are a runner and have any tips I'm all ears.
I also know how to make a wicked looking origami fish.
