About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To cultivate a more adventurous spirit and learn new things about myself in the process of exploring the people and places around me.

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, Calm, Open-Minded, Open-Hearted. I'm an old fashioned kind of girl. I like to do things with my hands, cook, bake, ferment things, grow things, write letters, you name it. Hope to one day have my own big ol plot of land and make a whole lot less of an impact on the environment than I am currently making and a much bigger impact on the people around me with every passing day. I wouldn't be where I am today without a cup of strong black coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

Slow it down. I tend to always try to do things fast as if there is some sort of finish line. We're here! Might as well enjoy it, make the most out of it, and slow life down a little while we can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

summer 2013 I traveled across the united states exclusively camping and couch surfing. it was soooooo rad and the most amazing part of the experience was the beautiful people who opened their doors to me and gave me so much lovin'! Im back in montreal now and hoping to provide that same experience to fellow travelers looking for a place to stay.

Interests

I love to garden, make things with my hands, and do things with my body. In the summer you will find me with my hands in the dirt in a garden somewhere, at the yoga studio, on the beach, or on the balcony with an ice cold beer. I'm a full time student in Montreal and during the summers I am free as a bird traveling wherever the wind takes me. New people open the mind and heart and I am always looking to meet more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Leonard Cohen's music and novels. My soul twin. Other than that I listen to some old folk stuff, some blue grass, things my parents listen to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you Danish or some basic Russian. I can teach you to french braid your hair, ferment kefir, grow tomato plants, make a delicious loaf of foccacia bread, or an amazing cup of strong hot coffee. decent at yoga so I can teach you a thing or two about a nice steady headstand.
