CURRENT MISSION

To love passionately, share joy, and live fully. Laugh a lot and always be grateful!

ABOUT ME

I love many things. People, books, green lawns in the sunshine, morning bike rides, coffee with friends, meeting new people, discovering new places, adventures. Horses, sports, history, cultures. Food, spices, music, and beer on the back patio.
I have many passions. Traveling, learning, youth-at-risk, social justice.
I like to think that by living fully and seeking love, I can make my own little dent in the injustices of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Unto him to whom much has been given, much will be expected.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbour as yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By sharing my love of Edmonton and zest for life with whomever crosses my path; by traveling to new places and hosting travellers on my comfy couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for my first time in Montreal this May, and had a fantastic experience! I want to pass on the generosity and hospitality that I received and give back to this incredible community.

Interests

Sports (mountain climbing, running, biking, rugby, volleyball, badminton), reading (from classics to fantasy), school, horseback riding, history, traveling, international development and relief work, youth (especially the at-risk population), and meeting new people. Music, art (although my knowledge is limited), and cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: love the English classics (favourite author: Charles Dickens) but also love to read historical fiction and fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A Sudanese ex-child soldier offered my male traveling companion 100 cows to buy me to be his bride.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my passion for relief work in Africa, and stories from my 8 months living in Tanzania.
I like to learn about anything and everything!
