About Me

I am a very light hearted person who enjoys the wild side of life. I have recently become deeply interested in traditional healing practices throughout different cultures. I have decided to quit my job to travel and further my knowledge of traditional medicine and healing therapies.
I have an infinite love and connection with the ocean. Scuba diving and snorkelling are some of my favourite things in life along with floating in the ocean watching the stars appear one by one.

I have been traveling my whole life which has created an insatiable curiosity for different cultures. I love to laugh and do goofy, spontaneous things! Like going on a hikes at 3:30 am to see the sunrise or getting lost on a scooter , inresult finding amazing authentic cities and people.
I mostly love being outside either swimming, hiking, cycling, star gazing, scuba diving/snorkeling, playing volleyball, being in the garden, cooking, doing yoga, meditating, sitting with the trees and flowers taking pictures etc..

PHILOSOPHY:

You are what you eat and that your body is your temple.

Everyone has the right to truly feel happy, healthy and embrace their inner being.

No freedom until we're equal, damn right I support it!

Once the power of love over comes the love of power the world will know peace. - Jimi Hendrix

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet people from all walks of the earth and intertwine our positive energies and experiences. I am VERY intrigued by other cultures, and ask a butt load of questions :P!
People are absolutely amazing and beautiful ! There is so much to learn from everyone you meet. I am so grateful I came across couchsurfing. The people I have met have through couchsurfing have genuinely changed my life and bettered my experiences. So I am generally on couch surfing to create amazing experiences and life long friends. Also its a complete bonus to see the city from a locals perspective. I don't think traveling should be done any other way.


I am also on couch surfing because Ontario (my home) is a very beautiful place and has ALOT to see! I would love to show people from all around the world, the local food and nature my area.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about photography, Taoist love healing, yoga, meditation, traveling, basic geography, plant medicine and cooking! I would love to learn different languages (right now Portuguese) and about different cultures. If you could teach me more about occultism, different meditations and spirituality I would be SO keen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positive energy, a helping hand, a good laugh and unique ideas. I can be very silly but only if I break out of my shell and feel comfortable with you.

I love to cook so you can expect a lot of crazy delicious vegan and vegetarian food!
