CURRENT MISSION

looking to explore, learn; be creative, imaginative... I'm looking for magic, unicorns and beautiful beards; basically, my mission is to experience something else, be inspired and have a fuckin blast.

ABOUT ME

I am half Irish, half-Canadian and I am an artist!

No, but actually, I'm great and I'm small, so I don't take up too much room. I'm pretty fearless and willing to take on adventure, but sometimes I do need a little push.
I'm accepting of everyone, so if you can make me laugh, you're gold... and it doesn't take too much. I try to be as considerate as I can, I'm a great listener, I can fit inside a dryer and I can blow up a balloon with my nose!

PHILOSOPHY

Better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
CS Deflowering occurred in Amsterdam where I fell in love with the city and made a new bestie.

Interests

Urban exploring, photography, acting, singing, dancing; I've done buffon and burlesque. I love writing and performing in all ways, really into fashion these days and sustainable culture. I like reading and storytelling, breaking into abandoned buildings, the occasional skinny dip; I like chocolate and generally just being around people who say something worth hearing.

And I dearly love to laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked from Sweden to Lisbon, walked the Camino de Santiago... and fallen in love so many times... Honey, my life is the best seller you haven't even read yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know if my skills are anything out of the ordinary but I'm definitely willing to extend a hand if asked.

I can braid your hair, do special effects makeup, offer photo shoots or teach you how to tap dance; perhaps, help you update your iPod?
I'm can sing you a song, or tell you a story. I can give the BEST massage. I can zip zippers and button buttons. I can cook for you!

Oh, and I can definitely find you weed.

I can help you with your English and check your grammar carefully! I used to write for a blog so, I can let you in on things you never thought to ask.

...and I can teach you how to fight; for stage and film. I'm certified in rapier and dagger, broadsword, small sword, quarterstaff and hand-to-hand combat.

But most importantly, if you're going out and want to look good... I can tell you if you look like shit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A unique perspective of Canadian culture perhaps, or maybe just a genuine experience with Toronto.

I can help around the house and help cook. I can paint you pictures and do henna for you. I can read you a storyand tuck you in just like your mom did. I can always make you smile.
