CURRENT MISSION

to learn, share, embrace life with vigor!

ABOUT ME

Graduated, panicked and moved to Japan where I taught English for a year and learned more about my heritage (mom's side). Biked 4000km with a group of awesome people and figured I want to continue pedaling and started planning an epic bike ride for 2009. Will embark on a fantastic journey of learning in August- from Vancouver to Buenos Aires- to be seen from behind my handlebars and atop a bicycle saddle!

Hoping to network and learn from everyone, but especially those who have creative and fun solutions to incorporating sustainability into their daily life.

PHILOSOPHY

yet to be fully developed...
although it would include elements of passion, harmony and respect...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Want to offer a friendly place and face to those who visit me, and a keen ear and open mind for those who are willing to share their space and city with me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every time I meet a new couchsurfer, the first thing that comes out of my mouth is: I have yet to meet a couchsurfer i didn't like.

Interests

stories of all sorts: of people, of trees, of how a place came to be... (and storytelling: verbal, visual- i pretend to know what i am doing behind my big honking camera)

the environment: how it has been so forgiving for so long, and what i can do to try to give back and help protect, i want to EXPLORE more!

food: how it is produced, and how it nourishes...

achieving inner harmony: aikido (i'm still a white belt), meditation and yoga (i still can barely touch my toes)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

can't do it. too many and i'm WAY to biased by recent phenomenal events in my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

Want to learn so much more about how people are incorporating sustainability into their lives. there are so many interesting and creative solutions that I'd love to hear more about!
