CURRENT MISSION

Go south and wander. Be brave. Climb some trees. Write some stories.

ABOUT ME

I am curious. I laugh. I like to write and read and do both slowly. I came to Halifax to attend art college, but stayed because I love the east coast, and the people I've found here. As much as I like to be active, to go on long walks, and long journeys, I also love to sit for hours with coffee and people. I like to cook soup, and then share it.

PHILOSOPHY

How to be good to everyone?
There's always something to learn.
Keep on trucking.
Smile at strangers.
Be true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing.org, but have been house- and pet-sitting, and couchsurfing for almost a year, now. I've been soooo lucky to share space with so many great people.

Interests

Looking at, and sometimes making books. Listening to people talk. I like cozy homes and sharing food. I like wandering wherever my feet lead me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunsets on canoe trips. Climbing way, way up high in trees. Jumping off sand dunes in India. The stillness of Death Valley.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to see how others live. I like to see how others construct their homes. I like to learn new dance moves. I like to hear new music. I like to hear stories. I like to be shown things off the beaten paths.

I can cook. I can help to make a handmade book. I can help in the garden. I can read stories out loud. I can help to tear down your barn or house.
