Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learning how to sit still while continually moving.
After 5 years of living in Asia, I've settled in Vancouver. I currently work as a youth worker (sweet gig), and am pushing towards starting my B.ed in January.
ABOUT ME
I dig people, beauty, and imagination. I'm friendly, quite outgoing, and enjoy sharing a word or food with others.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
1) Best way to travel and meet others.
2) Share and intermingle stories
3) See new sights
4) Help others out along their way
Interests
Guitar, art (drawing, glass, etc), playing sports, reading, and writing. I'm passionate about anything to do with education. I'm always seeking to enrich life by expanding and stretching myself, and in so doing I have more capacity to bless others.
