ABOUT ME

I am fun and a little odd. I adore travel and cannot fill out the "where you want to go" section because I want to go everywhere. I love hostels, photography, memories, the outdoors getting lost and new things. I love museums and galleries but also love being active and in nature. I climbed a mountain with two friends, five peaches and two liters of carbonated lemonade. I am not the best at planning but am spontaneous and willing to go along (and come up with) pretty much any plan- the more ridiculous the better.
Also, I am a living statue.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to really get to know a place. I would rather spend a week in one city than see seven countries in seven days. There is so much I want to see, but I don't want to just see it, I want to live it and understand bits of it. I want to be a traveler, not a tourist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finally experiencing my own country. Summer 2010 was spend taking Greyhounds from coast to coast and then some. Halifax to Victoria and up to Whitehorse. I learnt a lot, made some friends and just had an amazing time. I managed to fund the whole thing through street performance. So happy I did it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an abundance of trivia and useless knowledge. For anyone looking to get into the living statue business here are some tips:
- take breaks! You can stay out longer if you take 30 seconds to sit down and stretch
- sunscreen is your best friend
- try a bunch of different footwear, but don't be surprised if you just end up in bare feet
- It may be obvious to everyone but me, but to make your costume stiff and statue like? Paint it! House paint works great!
- If you are going to paint your costume, make sure it is *thin* fabric! Something like wool will absorb all your paint and will leave you with a big, unflexable, uncomfortable, useless thing.
- Have fun!
