Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To venture out on the road less travelled....
ABOUT ME
I love Canada but I love living abroad even more! Exploring new cultures, new languages, new cities, and meeting new people are my favourite things to do.... Couch Surfing seems to accommodate all these things!
PHILOSOPHY
Love God, Love People!
A life lived in fear is a life half-lived.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to host and be hosted. :) I love meeting new people and discovering more about different cultures, and perspectives. So whether we go out for a coffee or a drink or stay for a few days be ready for some good conversation!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been hosted by some lovely people. I am constantly amazed at how people are willing to open their homes to strangers. And how quickly strangers become friends! So... I seek to do the same for people who choose to come and stay with me! :)

Music, Movies, and Books
I usually prefer music like Avett Brothers, Stars, Sigur Ros and Fiest but I also dig Coldplay and the Beatles! My favourite comedies are Waynes World, and Strictly Ballroom, but I also love International flicks like Water. I love reading historical biographies like Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and fiction like A Fine Balance, What is the What, and The Kite Runner. My guilty pleasures are Harry Potter, LOTR, and Game of Thrones... I love getting swept away by a good fantasy;)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've seen the sun rise over Mount Olympus, trekked the wilds of the Indonesian Rainforests, seen a volcano erupt on a boat after a dive, explored the depths of the ocean to find tiny, wild, and wonderful creatures. This world is an amazing and wonderful place! I can't wait to experience more!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd love to learn how to make a good veggie burger... from scratch
