ABOUT ME

I am in the midst of an exciting time in my life, I quit my job and am going back to school in September, so in the meantime I have as much flexibility as my savings account will allow!! I am embarking on a solo travel adventure through Central America and eager to meet other couchsurfers along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

I was fortunate to be exposed to the philosophy of yoga and vedanta through my Yoga Teacher's Training Course at the Sivananda Ashram in Bahamas. I haven't thought too much about my own personal philosophy up until this experience, but I think it is now starting to form in the back of my mind. Briefly, the two key messages I took from it are: 1) life is a journey, not a destination, so we must learn from and appreciate every experience and 2) don't get too attached to things, people, ideas, plans. The only thing we can count on is change.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think the best part of traveling is meeting people, and that is really the only way to experience a place. I have been lucky to create friendships that span the globe and i hope to continue that with couch surfing. I also look forward to hosting once i am settled in one place or another.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some fantastic experiences with couch surfing so far, staying with people and using it as a way of meeting like-minded travelers. I like the idea that you can find a community of cool people wherever you go!

Centres d'intérêt

I enjoy cooking, running, yoga, and listening to music. I speak English and French and a little Spanish. I am interested in urban planning, sustainable design, permaculture, food culture and politics, and issues related to equity and social determinants of health.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I love reading. I try to alternate between fiction and non-fiction. I prefer historical fiction as well as light chick-lit. I like to read non-fiction on the various issues I am interested in, including food, the environment, and health.

I like listening to chill electronic music, deep house, that sort of thing. I thoroughly enjoy any type of live music.

I enjoy watching movies, but I haven't watched any in a while. My favourites include old movies especially with audrey hepburn, as well as current comedies.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I am a certified ice skating, downhill skiing, and yoga instructor, and I love to share these passions.
