I live between and am engaged in art communities in both Canada and Australia. I am hungry for experience through immersion. My favourite way to experience a place, is to be immersed and stay long enough to learn how the locals live, and to create a synergy with my environment.

I write about art. I seek out and curate art.
I am also super aware that the word ‘art’ is problematic. I will just say: art is for everyone. Art is not an object to be bought. Art is a language, a conduit through which we can question the default, think through, process the chaos. Art is a safe space to ‘fail’, and at the same time, in art you cannot fail. Art is community building conversations and activities. You are welcome to art. I promise to disrupt anyone who makes you feel like art is only for an elite few.
Maybe we need a new, less tainted word for what I am referring to when I say ‘art.’ But for now, I have this word, and with it I say: may art embrace and empower you. It is yours; and here’s a secret: you cannot fuck it up, so go ahead, art wants you to make it, feel it, live it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open and hungry mind that makes for engaging conversation and experience exchange. We can share what we've learnt through past experiences and conversations with people around the world. Simultaneously, I also have zero problem keeping to myself if that’s what suits my environment.

I apologise for not having very many references so far, I am still quite new to Couchsurfing. If you would like to view my Airbnb profile, I can share the link with you so that you can read my past hosts’ reviews.
