ABOUT ME

I'm a twenty-three-year-old redhead from Canada. I love to adventure, whether it be in a new country, city, or the forests on the outskirts of my hometown. I love just about every living thing on the planet, except pigeons! My family and friends mean the world to me. I'm really easy-going, and I like to think of myself as a bit of a MacGyver sometimes. I'm spontaneous. I like to sing, and I'm a novice ukulele player. I'm a shutterbug. I'm genuinely interested in other people's stories. I'm a foody. My favourite thing to do at home is chill out in my hammock and read with my cat.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good. Try to step out of your comfort zone, if only once in a while.
Love something.

Always in motion is the future.

Interests

I love to sew, anything and everything - even my prom dress. I can paint. I enjoy working with my hands. I love to help people with projects, especially if it involves learning a new skill. I'm a big time film-buff, but my all-time number one favourite is Star Wars. I also like video games and MTG, etc... I collect vinyl records and mugs and buttons. I really enjoy art history. I also really enjoy architecture and cultural history...something I've been able to see a lot of on my travels so far. I am currently in the Travel & Tourism program at the College here in Barrie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The coolest thing I've ever done was probably backpacking Europe alone for three months when I was 20.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a very good sewer, and I would gladly teach anyone, or sew something for them. I'm also a good painter (walls and canvas), and apprentice framer. I love to cook, and I love learning new techniques and recipes even more! I'm pretty handy in general, so if there's anything a host would need help with, I'd be totally willing to lend a hand!
