CURRENT MISSION

My goal in life for as long as I can remember has been to work hands on in the field of sea turtle conservation: researching ways to increase population growth and prevent loss due to climate change, working in a rehabilitation centre, or just living on the beach and patrolling every night to deter poachers.

Mini-missions include raising awareness that climate change isn't a future concern, but a current one; and to get people excited about sustainable, carbon-neutral (and healthy!) living

ABOUT ME

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'm brand new to couchsurfing, and hoping to make it a lifelong commitment. My first foray into the couchsurfing experience will be a 3 week trip around Europe in Spring, with a lot of quick stops to see as much as possible.

I've lived in Panama as a temporary expat a few times now in the past 3 years, and my favourite parts are consistently the bits of culture I bring home and subconsciously incorporate into my everyday life. I would love to learn and to take home a little bit of culture from everywhere I go. I mean, is there a better way to experience a new places than with those who know them best - the people who call it home? And hopefully I'll make some friends along the way :)

LEARN
Everything - I'm a sponge for information. I'm most interested in learning new ways to cook and dance; new ways to live actively and sustainably; and new ways to see the world.

TEACH
Likewise, if you want to learn then I want to teach! Anything including social dancing, cooking, baking (especially cheesecakes), navigating Canada, Canadian cultures and food, Panamanian culture and food, marine biology, ecology, and conservation.
