CURRENT MISSION

To understand misunderstandings

ABOUT ME

I love to travel. It is my main passion and teacher. I used to work and travel for many years. Now I live in Toronto with my family and am a teacher. I try to get around the world in the stories told by my students. I’m so blessed in this way.
I have this thing about drawing people I meet in marker. So if you feel like sitting still for about ten minutes to see what happens.... Every time I meet someone I try to draw them and I am getting better each time.
Im eccentric, understanding, creative and friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

I am old enough to have many Philosophies but too young to be able to describe them in words.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to guild you through my favorite parts of Toronto or Montreal. I'd love to have that travelers conversation with you. Share ideas. Staying on your couch is such a privilege for me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Experience is a funny word. Standing in neck high goldenrod, guitar lessons and disguising oneself to enter the Reeperbahn in Hamburg are all part of my exciting experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time I look at the sky and pause to enjoy it I feel like I have seen an amazing thing. All different kinds of skies. Toronto skyline, Berlin, Tokyo, the northern Canadian bush. Each sky is framed by a different boarder. The colours, textures and lighting express something new each time.
Each time I thoroughly walk through a city I feel like I have done something amazing. All you need are a few hours of movement to see, sense and feel different neighbourhoods. Each space communicates a unique vibe. I like to think I can understand that vibe and piece together the amazingness of it all.

Teach, Learn, Share

Dance - Im shy but I want to get good enough that I'm not shy.
Music - sing with me, sing with me.
Pushing a few boundaries, going just a bit further than I've been before, take me somewhere new.
