CURRENT MISSION

getting out of the fast lane and experiencing life!

ABOUT ME

hmmm, love travel (obviously), new experiences, meeting new people, getting out of my comfort zone, chatting about music and going to concerts, running through the rain, singing along to songs, learning, playing squash, photography (self-admitted beginner, though!), dancing, having a nice cold beer

PHILOSOPHY

self edification and lifelong learning
self improvement and striving for *balance*
looking for ways to give back
the golden rule and the 3R's : )
listening to others - "everybody has a story to tell"
"you never know what's around the corner"
shake the tree and see what falls out!
if you don't take risks you're not really livin'

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couchsurfing for the first time with my best friend Jen in the maritime provinces of canada. we met some awesome folks - ted/dave in halifax, the gaudet family in NB (shout-out to the family I want to adopt me!), etc. I fell in love with the concept of CS, and can't wait to meet more peole.
