About Me

CURRENT MISSION

M.Ed by 2012!

ABOUT ME

As a Westcoaster, I am a bit ironic and a default environmentalist. As a Canadian, I am too reserved for some people's taste. As a teacher, I am interested in a wealth of nerdy subjects such as history, sociology, biology, and current events...

I love stories: I am interested in staying with other travelers to hear about their experiences and worlds. I also like drinking tea, cooking nice meals, and evenings of conversation in many forms.

Unfortunately, if you are a man and you message me without a clear purpose, I will not reply (Couchsurfing is not a dating service). My apologies to all the well-intentioned males out there.
