About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience all that life has to offer!

ABOUT ME

I find myself to be a very open, loving and sensitive individual! My friends mean the world to me and I always have the interests of others in mind! I have a beautiful younger sister (who I love madly) and an older brother who I've lived with for over a year and have gotten closer with (despite the constant trail of ladies he brings over to our townhouse haha)

I was born in Vegreville, a cute little town in Edmonton, Alberta but have been living in Kitchener, Ontario for the past 14 years of my life!

I have a passion for hair! I have extensive experience doing dreadlocks and dreadlock maintenance (I have done it to myself, my friends and occasional clients, and would be open to any suggestions/tips to improve my skill!) If anyone is in need of dreadlocks or dreadlock maintenance I would be happy to oblige!

I now feel it's time to get out there and experience the world! I'm super interested in experiencing the traveler lifestyle and can't wait to get on the road!

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life? 'Cause I love it! Carpe diem! Life is too short to waste it worrying about the expectations of others! Grab the bull by the horns and run!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My friend has told me nothing but good things about it so once I joined I realized how helpful it really was to fellow backpackers!
I spread the good word whenever I can...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had only a few CouchSurfing experiences but all were amazing!
I first started in Colombia and went around from South American to Iceland. One year later I took a small trip to Quebec, Ontario and yet again met amazing people through this organization. I never experienced anything bad and only have had great reviews!
I love the whole concept and can't wait to meet more people.

Interests

Music, Traveling (my new love!), Movies (ie. Shawshank Redemption and old James Bond movies,) I'm currently addicted to True Blood (I'm only at season four and book 5 but so far cannot pull myself away), hair styling, drinking (love to have casual Tuesday drinks with the girls,) and animals of all shapes and sizes (cats are my favourite!) anddddd... I'll leave the rest for you to findout when we meet during couchsuring!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once climbed "El Cocuy's National Park" in Colombia... that was just amazing!! I saw all the stars around me and below was fireworks and celebrations. I stayed on that mountain for two nights with some really amazing people.
The scenary was just unforgetable!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn EVERYTHING! The world is wide open and I want to experience it. I want to teach something as well... I hope one day I will be able to share all that I have learned thus-far in life!
