ABOUT ME

I like running really fast down steep hills.
Sometimes when I really get laughing I snort. It's rare, but it happens.
I wish people introduced themselves with hugs rather than hand shakes.

I'm living in Toronto and am on a mission to find secret hiking spots in this wonderful city.

PHILOSOPHY

To be a good steward of this little planet and spread some kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Digging into the CS community in my current hometown.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've known of couchsurfing for awhile, but it wasn't until my friend and I were rescued by Knoxville's kind-hearted couchsurfing angels that I realized how beautifully CS brings people together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music. this list is endless.

Wade Davis will always be my hero. Please read his books, like, The Serpent and the Rainbow! I am also on a Dave Eggers kick right now

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think most encounters with animals in the wild are amazing... I've had a stare down with a black bear in BC and been awestruck by two Scarlet Macaws flying right over my head in Costa Rica.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like getting down with homesteady crafts... knit, crotchet, soap making, canning, fermenting, baking, and love to share my knowledge on these topics.

I am interested in learning more about woodworking, pottery and sourdough bread starters!
