Hello world, my name is Molly ~ I live in a cabin in the wilderness of Canada and have recently decided to take a pause from the corporate world and tune back into myself, creativity and life. I'm at a bit of a cross roads with it all, so I have decided to embark on another journey to re-awaken my dance with life and to witness the cosmic unfolding of it all. I think i'm pretty easy to get along with, and am respectful of spaces, places, and faces. I'm introverted by nature but deeply enjoy conversing and connecting; sharing laughs, wisdom, stories, memories, and the philosophies and absurdities of life. I value freedom, growth, exploring and experiencing ~ I am a pretty free spirited person who is on a quest to embrace life to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I feel that there is no better way to experience a country than to host with the locals! I think it would create a unique and authentic experience for my travels, and potentially for yourself as well? Ha I guess that's up to you to decide! Hostel travel crowds don't really appeal to me anymore and I am seeking a more tranquil non hostel environment. I'd love to make connections and friends along the way, and create happy and meaningful memories for both my host and I.

Music, Movies, and Books

I find it impossible to pick favourites with anything. I am obsessed with music though, covering many genres and artists. (except top 40 and modern pop.. haha). Anything that can mimic my inner world and/or evoke a deep inner experience. Music is my true love.
When I was trying to be stoic I really enjoyed Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
I fell in love with Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye. And Elliot Alderson from Mr. Robot. I only fall in love w fictional characters occasionally...
I love anything by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, I wish she was my mom.
I f#$ing love Charles Bukowski and his raw vulgarity
and there have been so so so many other literature gems i've been blessed to read over the years that are escaping my memory. I don't know.
I prefer non fiction - but all of the ones that are the most memorable to me are fiction. Odd....
As for movies, the same goes. I love nature docs, adventure and adrenaline documentaries and films, I also like cyberpunk, hacker and crime themed movies. I'm honestly open to most realms and have enjoyed a lot of film, but enjoy things that give me a rush.
