Overview
About Me
Getting rid of my fears one by one, I love adventures and the outdoors, I have so many interests each week it can be confusing, but I stick to some like Parkour and ballroom dancing! I love people and I will always respect anyones beliefs or desires. Im spiritual and see going on hikes and loving the world as my "religion" I don't really like labels when it comes to that haha like buddhism is my Philosophy and how I eat some would call me a vegan, but I can eat meat and eggs if i had to, I just love animals i'd rather not eat them. But it's tough out there in the wild......so i've heard.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I believe that my adventures in life are going to be amazing and i'm going to love every moment, but the journey is only as good as the people you spend it with, and I would love to spend it with the locals who know their city, town, country side or whatever! and there is more chance of making life long friends!
Interests
I love making youtube videos! So If I ask if I can film a vlog with you, please do not hesitate to say no! haha, I also love acting and singing and dancing with anyone, making people laugh and smile, and singing old folk tunes or any song with a bunch of people. I used to play ice hockey and it is still my favorite sport, I have only surfed once but i have boogie boarded thousands of times and beaches are definitely my favorite places to be in the world. I also do a bit of magic but mostly I am a practicing stage pickpocket ...I emphasize on the STAGE part there haha it's all just for show and to make people smile!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all music, but I often find my self listening to jazz or classical or beach music, Jack Johnson is my favorite artist! I love all movies except maybe horror... but really love any movie, especially ones about travel or adventures. I get this bad habit from my dad where i read more then one book at a time and never finish them haha so I'm on and off books right now but "Sahara" and "The Alchemist" are a couple.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This isn't really something I have done But when living in Christchurch, I survived the earthquake of 2011, and I was in the middle of town and the building I was in (McDonalds haha) was the only one in the area that did not collapse or get a red card alert later. So I am very happy to be alive!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some basic parkour moves which are fun and useful :) I can teach you how to juggle and dance and play the ukulele, Mountain Dulcimer, Bodhran drum and penny whistle! I teach myself basically everything like languages and martial arts techniques and such. I love to bake and cook but I do not really know many recipes haha, i love learning new things and seeing other people's talent's!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Well apart from my manners and not so full repertoire of cooking skills I do love story telling. Sharing adventurous tales of wonder... and I'm just another person you can go on an adventure with so you don't have to go at it alone? I'm not really sure what I can share, i'll probably buy/make you a bunch of gifts if that counts haha.
