CURRENT MISSION

On doing… being… and becoming

ABOUT ME

I am me! I am a bit quirky and happy and optimistic. I love life and traveling is my passion. When I stay in Calgary too long I get antsy. I can often be found meandering through the mountains on the weekend by foot, snowshoe, and most recently exploring by bike or skis. I am always busy and doing things because I don't like to stay still for too long. Sometimes I find that I am too busy to explore all the things I wish… but I guess I have my whole life to be curious. Sometimes my go go go attitude leaves me exhausted and I just need a break from it all.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for new adventures and experiences. Currently I am working on exploring the meaning behind on doing, being, and becoming. Continually being curious in the present moments and growing.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed in the past. I am always up for meeting interesting people if I have the time. Drinks? Hikes? City adventures? I can also host every so often.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went couch surfing for the first time in Chile with some lovely girls. I was hooked!

Interessen

Sunshine and rainbows... but actually anything that makes me happy. I really like outdoor explorations and meeting cool new people. Hiking, snowboarding or pretty much anything in the mountains is acceptable! I really like music... anything that is chill that you can mellow out to or that is happy and bouncy to put me in a happy mood. I love indie! I like playing random instruments and listening to live music. Also, I really like ice cream and cupcakes (it is a bit of a weakness of mine). I like public policy and sustainability (social, economic, environmental). One day I will keep bees because it is the only livestock you can harvest in the city (I don't think harvest is the right word…)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Anything that makes you think. I also love movies with subtitles. My goal is to learn another language so that I can actually speak it! Sometimes I know what they are saying in Spanish movies and I like how they are not translated exactly.

Music: Stars, Metric, Mother Mother, Hey Ocean!, The Zolas, Mowglis

Books I have recently read or am reading (I like the idea of reading but finding time to read is a challenge for me): The myth of Sisyphus (Camus), The Idiot (Dostoyevsky), Development As Freedom (Sen)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Giant stone heads on Easter Island! Such a tiny little island with amazing sights. Biking up an extinct volcano and having a picnic at the crater lake and watching the waves (sea water fascinates me).

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I know a bit about psychology and forensic science... I am learning about occupational therapy (it is pretty cool!). I like the environment so feel free to teach me about that!
