CURRENT MISSION

To scratch the itch of the travel bug

ABOUT ME

I'm a young woman in my 20's who enjoys wearing bright colors and neat styles, rocking tunes from decades ago and in my free time I love reading, creating new culinary delights, wine and cheese and dancing it up. I've been putting off travelling for far too long, even though I've been planning it since grade 9 :P
In Sept. 2010 I'm headed for NZ for a working holiday visa and I am so excited to begin my journey.

PHILOSOPHY

When I was much younger I wondered a lot about why we are here, but through growing experience and in turn wisdom I've realized that I'd rather be something than nothing, I do believe that we're only garunteed to live once, so I'm going to make the most of it while the light is still switched on for Eve.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I'm truly quite new to this organization. However, I love meeting new people, I'm a bit of a talker and being from East Coast canada know the meaning of solid hometown hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only had a few friends explain what a great site this is, but I'm eager to be a part of hosting and surfing.

Interests

Obviously travel, however I enjoy a bottle of good wine (wrapped in a brown paper bag, or a crystal glass it makes no difference to me) with some sharp cheese and members of the family I've choosen for myself along my travels through Canada.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 17 I took the first adult trip of my life, to British Columbia and spent picking cherries under the hot sun, growing and learning from those around me in love and life. It may not seem amazing, but it changed my life forever into the person I am.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the best piece of life experience I can share is to not lose to much faith in humanity. Its always when you least expect it that life will throw you a curve ball and something truly compassionate will come your way.
