CURRENT MISSION

Running away!

ABOUT ME

I´m from Calgary, Alberta, Canada born and raised, 23 years old. My passion and involvement with/for the arts; quirky style and .. semi-strange habits, make me a "darling" to be around. Or so I'm told.

Since returning home, I've how much fun it can be working for the elderly. Their all such set-characters. Unchanging and occasionally uncooperative for anyone. One day I hope to be that awesome, sitting outside yelling at kids to get off my lawn with a shotgun and a bottle of gin.

But Calgary cannot keep me satisfied. Feelings of boredom and the yearning for more, have brought me back to couchsurfing time and time again and have moved me across the country to Montreal then back and now out again for more experiences .. Who knows where the road will lead but its paved with stars.

PHILOSOPHY

All I want is Diamonds, my name in lights and a gold plated limo .. is that to much to ask?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is an amazing experience and a great resource for the budget traveller.

I've always loved of meeting new people, and seeing their sides of a city .. all of the couchsurfing experiences I had were different, interesting and exciting.

The people that I have met were so generous and kind, and I only hope that they've felt the same about me staying at their homes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled and have gotten through maybe a couple personal melt-downs, while covering a majority of western Europe ..

Finished my first year of art college at decided to walk away from continuing my degree .. out of the fact, that it was not what I wanted to do at the time without any sense of direction.

I did not let the pressures of others around me, control my life. So, I'm hoping that I'm letting that freedom run wild!
