IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
I am traveling with my partner Max; a fellow Canadian tree planter, skater, snow boarder and general shredder of gnar' ♡

They Call me Fish.

Adventure is my middle name.

I'm a burlesque performer and recently have gotten into doing drag. I LOVE dress up and performance art, theater and dance ♡

I sew and design allot of my costumes and love a good thrift store.

I am a career tree planter; so I spend about 6 months out of the year working in remote Canadian wilderness, living in bush camps and planting trees.

I love the seeming paradox of the two sides of my life; one being rather glamorous and one being rather filthy. Well maybe they are both filthy. Just in different ways

I'm passionate about yoga and meditation, both have been daily staples in my life for about a decade.

I'm pretty chill, like all sorts of people- love to get into a little adventure; going camping or hiking or exploring local bar scenes and dance events. I LOVE estatic dance. I am a student of aerial pole and love fitness! The staples of good food, good conversation and good company.

PHILOSOPHY

Inner exploration

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host-Surf-Repeat

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Oh man so many fantastic stories! Ive met some very good friends both hosting and surfing over the years. Some of the most memorable might be an Italian girl who came to stay with me in my home in Montreal and ended up living with me for a year. We are still very good friends. I had a family in France take me paragliding on a whim. That was a mind blowing experience. Ive been inspired by a Chilean man who stayed with me at my place in Victoria and told me all bout how he traveled the world visiting different Vipassana centers sitting for 10 days and then serving for 10 days; I found that very touching.

Interests

Artist at heart, painting, writing, music, dancing, you name it.

Interested in people. What makes them tick. I love exploring the beliefs of different cultures and mindsets.
World religion fascinates me. I love mythology and folklore.
