About Me

NOT IN CANADA RIGHT NOW
(if you message me to hang out, you clearly haven’t looked at my profile )

Currently exploring Africa.

I am either really social and loud, or quiet and observant; I’m an introverted extrovert. Don't take life too seriously. I adapt quickly to different situations and environments, which makes wandering this big beautiful planet an absolute pleasure. For the most part, I enjoy a slow-paced life- focusing on one task at a time...sorry in advance for being late. Definitely a yes girl, so count me in ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because happiness in only real when shared

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Glacier hiking in Iceland was an unreal experience for me.

Backpacking across Indonesia was the shit.

Burning Man.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach/Share: My positive energy. Homemade beauty recipes and hygiene products. Special FX makeup (I make gelatin prosthetics for fun).

Learn: Anything you have to offer, the weirder the better. I'd like to learn French.
