About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a citizen of the world.

ABOUT ME

"Strangers are just friends we haven't met yet" - Frank, Baggage handler, PEI airport

I am a young Canadian gal who loves to travel and meet people! I study Anthropology and think that it reflects a lot about me as an individual. I have so much to learn, but am enjoying the process. I believe that people everywhere share commonalities, such as the desire for human relations (friends, companions, partners, etc). I am looking forward to meeting you!

Things that make me happiest:

- Laughing with friends/family
- Meeting interesting people/Making friends
- Hugs
- Forro ( a Brazilian style of dance similar to salsa)
- Music (almost every genre, with the exception of heavy metal)
- Food/cooking (best when shared with others)
- Travel
- Stand-Up Comedy
- Hidden Treasures
-Improv

I also have a small puzzle piece tattoo on my right ankle. Life is a puzzle, I am a puzzle, but somehow it all fits together.

PHILOSOPHY

No Regrets. Just postcards.

Take the opportunities as they come. Never been so goal focused that you can't see a good thing when it crosses your path. I believe that everything happens for a reason. It might not make sense now, but it'll all be OK in the end.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to host people, whether at my apartment or to meet up for a drink (coffee or beer). I also plan on doing an equal amount of surfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

A tip I recently acquired (from my mother)

To get ketchup stains out, rub the stain in dish soap, sprinkle it with table salt and let it soak overnight.

It works like a charm.
