Living in the capital of big ol' beautiful British Columbia with my trusty black kitty! Studying visual art and environmental studies. I hail from the prairies and fill my days with friends, exploring new hobbies, reading, and making cakes.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people with entirely different lives and making new connections in out of the ordinary ways. What better way to meet a new place or get a new perspective than with the guidance and kindness of strangers?

Through my old roommate's account we've hosted two couples of couch surfers separately.

While on a road trip through the West Coast of the USA I couch surfed, also through my co-traveller's account. All were very pleasant experiences.

I've performed in a play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and driven to San Francisco and back in 6 days from Vancouver Island, hitting 4 states!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you how to do some sick braids/hair wraps, give a ukulele lesson and share a few songs, I could teach you the ins and outs of dumpster diving, and I would love to take you climbing, even if you've never tried it before!

I would love to learn anything you're willing to teach! I'm currently trying to learn the guitar and have picked up whittling and embroidery. If you have any tips, they would be very much appreciated.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can bake a mean cake, strum a tune on my uke, carry a conversation about art/music/movies/environment issues.
