I grew up in the Canadian Rockies and love to hike and camp! I'm an educator and I love working with children and being part of happy communities. I also like dark beer, good books, long earrings, and making friends with awesome people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I am traveling Europe for a couple of months this fall and would like to meet great locals and save some cash.

Interests

I love learning new skills from other people! I also like to make art, write stories, and spend time on the land.

Music, Movies, and Books

Dig folk music, indie movies and documentaries, and post-colonial literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made my own cough medicine from vodka and plants in the boreal forest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about the boreal forest and, depending on supplies, maybe some arts and crafts skills too. There's a million things I'd be happy to learn about -- art, construction, gardening, cooking, knitting, you name it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am great at talking and sharing stories, and definitely also willing to cook, clean or be otherwise useful. Would also be willing to draw cartoon portraits of hosts and their pets ;)
