I’m Mariele. I was raised in a rural village in Nova Scotia, Canada. Now a self-proclaimed "certified professional dirtbag", I see no distinction between work and play and make a life of travel and outdoor adventure while mostly living nomadically in the back of my van in different parts of Canada, and travelling internationally when time permits. I love both alpine and coastal environments, and throughout all my travels and adventures I’m constantly seeking to enrich my connection to places, people, and cultures, and expand my mind and perspectives. My desire to travel is rooted in an intention to explore the many unique modalities through which knowledge is transmitted and "being human" is expressed.

I like nature, adventures, hitchhiking, silence, adrenaline, a good ol' game of cribbage, and watching time pass. I'm almost always down for adventures and fun times. Let's play!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing is caring! And it makes the world go 'round.

It's a pretty great day when you begin to realize that the world has given you everything you could ever want, all you have to do is be willing to make yourself vulnerable, engage with it, and create.
