Über mich
CURRENT MISSION
Be here in the present moment! Explore my heritage. Every place that I go and everything that I decide to do develops a different part of me that which without that part I do not feel that I could successfully move on to the next part, the next moment
ABOUT ME
Not so recent... must update.. sorry!
Last summer hitchhiked across canada from Kelowna (where I loved a management position at the Kelowna International Hostel for 10 months) to Montreal. I came to the east not really knowing what I was up to, but knowing that I had something to do here. I intended to explore my own country before I head overseas. It was a great learning experience that definetely has helped me for my impending trip... For the last couple of years I have consciously been trying to put myself out of my comfort zone because I know it pushes me to grow and develop as a loving being. I like to go to outdoor festivals and for many years have worked for vendors at many of these festivals. This past summer I dove into my jewelery and became a vendor myself at a few outdoor music fests, street fests in the city and artists markets! I love to hula hoop; especially fire-hooping. I have been an artist for most of my life and at any given time I am working on 2 or more projects at a time. I enjoy backpacking (of course), playing in the park, cooking, reading, people watching, radom conversations, saying hi to nice ppl on the street, taking funny face pictures, and generally flailing around and enjoying the little things in life!!!
PHILOSOPHY
hmmmm.... I am in an observant stage right now, just lookin around takin things in mostly like a spongey-brained baby. :P
Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENIENCE
I have had many couchsurfing experiences. Last summer when my lease was up for my house but I wanted to stay in town for another month I spent the rest of that time on my friends couches so that I could finish up all the loose ends before I took off to BC! I also spent another month couchsurfing when I got back in town from living in Kelowna for 10 months. I understand the courtesies involved in couchsurfing and have always been careful to be communcative with my hosts on all aspects. I get to their house to sleep at a time that is appropriate for them and I leave when they leave the house. I always try to find something that I can do for them in exchange for them welcoming me into their home, whether it be to go out for a beer or cook them a meal.
Even tho I have not hosted through this site I have hosted travelers before. One beaauty that came thru recently was a dready chick Jo from Toronto that I met at the river in Calgary. Her and her friend Twister stayed over one night and Jo tattooed a chickadee on my shoulder in my house! I love it! Even though I did not want to go to a party they went to, I still left it open for them to come back to my house when they wanted and it worked out fine.
