I'm a Canadian/American dual citizen that's been living in Portland for the last 3 years (though I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba). After having lived out of a backpack for several years prior, being settled down for that long has been unusual, so I'm honoring my itchy feet and traveling again!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make connections! To get an appreciation for lifestyles that differ from mine. To get to know corners of the world I wouldn't otherwise know to look for.

Interests

Performance art (of the Marina Abromovic / butoh / physical theatre / dance variety)

Music! (Wanna jam? Let's jam.)

Yoga! Meditation! Traveling! Reading! Languages! Philosophy! Metaphysics! Tea!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snuggled with a tiger. Learned how to swim (at 20-years-old) in the deepest lake in Central America. Took a month-long metaphysics course in Guatemala. Did a week-long silence + fast. Participated in a traditional Mayan cacao ceremony in a cave on the side of a mountain overlooking Lake Atitlan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a breathwork facilitator, so I could offer you a session! I also love nerding out about neuroscience and philosophy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to help around the house, motivate you to come on adventures with me, and whatever else would feel supportive for you!
