I am 28, love cycling, yoga, writing, art, photography. Driven by finding beauty and connection in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To aide me in my travels and hopefully give something back too!
I am a big fan of exchanges as a form of travel and am happy to do any odd jobs you might have around the house as well (childcare, dog walking, chores, cooking, etc.) I have realized that it is the open hearts of people and their stories and wisdom that make traveling so special for me.

Interests

Yoga, art, music - finding new music, reading, writing, cycling, long-distance cycle touring, spirituality, Buddhism, Alan Watts, collecting art, planning and researching travel and adventures and doing it.

I represent artists from my home city of Winnipeg, Canada, and the Spanish painter and filmmaker Arturo Prins. Right now I run a gallery in Wpg - Tiny Gallery. I update these IG accounts with new artwork - @leaharte, @tiny__gallery

Lastly I am very interested in documenting life experiences and am doing my best to keep a record of some of the things that have happened on my travels - http://missyou-already.blogspot.ca/
