About Me

I'm a kind-hearted, driven, artistic, witty, optimistic realist, with a passion for bettering the world and a true disdain for close-minded thinking. I've got my BA in Psychology and have been working in the mental health field. I sing, art and read and love just taking in everything that Vancouver Island has to offer! There are so many beautiful places to explore, things to see, festivals to attend, people to meet... This place is heaven :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of couch surfing and the unification of people from across the globe :) This is global communities as it should be.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling through Europe a few years back I surfed a few couches and a tent, attended a couple meetings and met loads and loads of wicked, down to earth, fun people! Now that I'm back at home I want to get the cs community going in my area and am happy to meet up with any travellers who may come my way ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music crosses all genres depending on my mood. Everything from louisiana blues, motown, and reggae to hip hop, country and top 40s

50/50, It's Kind of A Funny Story, The Green Mile

As for books, I'm currently reading Breakfast of Champions and am really digging Kurt Vonnegut's writing style!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked Mt. Sinai and watched the sunrise over the Egyptian landscape...ít was spectacular.
