Greetings all!

I am a simple human being living on the beautiful Vancouver Island by the Pacific coast in Canada.
I am travelling in Europe and Asia from August to October this year.

I enjoy diverse lifestyles and I like to learn through travelling. Taking care of my physical and emotional health, living a meaningful life and helping people along the way is my mission.

If I had the honour to host you, we would often go hiking, kayaking, or cook together; If I had the privilege to stay with you, I would be happy to help out with cooking, cleaning or other things you might need help with. I like to hang out, but I'm a pretty independent traveller. I am a teacher by profession but I am a student of lifelong learning.

The diverse and colourful communities I have encountered through my journey has expanded my horizons. I am learning to be open minded and to go with the flow, to trust the universe, and embrace my role; to walk a little further and search for the truth; and to surrender to reality with hope and peace.

Sing like a child, dance like the wind, and play like a fool.
Right people meet in the right place, at the right time.
I believe in miracles.

Love and peace to you all! ❤️
