CURRENT MISSION

I am simply the universe experiencing itself, so I choose to experience everything. And if no one has come back from the future to stop me, then how bad of a decision could it really be?

ABOUT ME

I want to see the world, experience everything around me and surround myself with amazing people. I had never left Canada until I was 23 (though I had traveled around it a fair bit) and once I started backpacking it became an addiction. Traveling changed me for the better and still is doing so. I'm an outgoing, happy, open person who loves to give anything I can offer to make those around me just a little happier.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about trying something new, doing something different, getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish to sleep on your couch while offering one when I stop moving around so much. I'll be working in Jasper AB, Canada in the summers and may have a chance to offer you a place. And while it could be only work accomodation and we'd have to be sneaky, there might be a chance in me snagging you a free place to camp in one of the campgrounds I work for too.

Also been trying to meet amazing people around where I am through CS as well. Excellent social site for travellers ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been CSing and HelpXing everywhere. I love it!

Hosted lots of people at home too. Amazing times, even had 6 surfers one weekend. Crazy!

Interests

Art (Painting, drawing, photography), Juggling (I taught myself in peru last year), Hiking, Beer, Computers, Books, Movies, Snowboarding, and simply chilling. I also like to wander around cities aimlessly.

Also very much into the party scene if there is one to be had... Always come away from nights out with new friends :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I love fantasy novels... They are my secret delight, especially if it's mixed with humour (Terry Pratchet and Jim Butcher)

As for movies I love everything from cult classics to horror, to comedy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Climbed Mount Doom! (apparently one can simply walk into Morder through the Tongariro Alpine Crossing)
- Fractured my spine and drove myself to a hospital!
- I've worked in a travelling ice cream vendor that went all over the North Island in NZ.
- Lived on a Greek Island with a family helping their disabled son to learn English.
- Went Couchsurfing in Osnabruke, Germany, and within an hour of getting into town and meeting the person, she brings me to an abandoned train station to an awesome party.
- Lived on a self sustaining farm in the mountains of Northern Italy during winter... Where I slept in a Yurt (a tent with a wooden floor)... That was infested with tiny black scorpions...
- Worked and lived in an abandoned monastery undergoing renovations to become an event centre/hostel/rent-able office space.
- Death Road in Bolivia

Way too many to count!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm also a jack of trades and if you have anything broken I can probably fix it while I'm staying at your place (Laptop, door, headphones, oven, pride, etc.).

I can cook for you. My dad used to be a chef in a 4 star restaurant and I've learned a lot from him. I can also bake cookies, brownies, creme caramel, etc.

And I can help teach you to juggle if you'd like to try ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts
