About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to keep an open heart.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun, quirky, open-minded Canadian with a keen interest in politics, creating community, art, history, architecture, sex worker rights and social justice.

I'm outgoing and ready to jump into anything. I think I've got the heart of golden retriever--friendly and curious.

I am up for waltzing in puddles or sitting around my apartment with a few friends drinking scotch from the 7-11 and talking about love.

Traveling for a year or so, doing a tour of where i have friends in the world or where interest takes me.

PHILOSOPHY

Have faith that whatever you are seeking is also seeking you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted and surfed in thailand and laos.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a bunch of folks in bangkok while living there for a few months. Before that I couchsurfed in Laos and it was amazing. I got to go to a remote exploration mining camp deep in the hills of rural laos, an area that will disappear next year when it is flooded by a hydroelectric dam. amazing.

Interests

history, left politics, gender studies, theories of late capitalism, cycling in high heels in winter (in canada people. that makes me hardcore), kick-ass cookie recipes, feminism, nina simone, speaking french, religious architecture, typeface, the american civil rights movement and anti-racist activism, community, love, friendship and sex worker rights.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Personally leading a spontaneous political rally that included hundreds down to the police headquarters in Toronto, flanked by activists with 20 years experience. inspiring.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was working for a thai-based NGO that serves female sex workers called Empower Foundation. I've learned a ton about sex work in thailand and if you are open minded, i am happy to share!
