I grew up on a horse and cattle farm outside of a tiny town of 200 people in Western Manitoba. After that, I tried to experience as many other versions of life as I could, by living on an olive farm in Italy, a permaculture farm in Guatemala, in the bustling city of Bangalore, India, in the fascinating city of Tirana, Albania, or in an indigenous community in the mountains of Nicaragua. I feel an immense love for all living beings I've encountered, and can't wait to share stories, lessons, views and experiences with other couchsurfers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling isn't about seeing places; it's about meeting people who grew up in different cultures with different world views than my own. To me, this is the best way to crack apart my perspectives, to challenge how I see the world, and to share wonderful experiences that lead to new friendships. How can we help each other in our journeys? I hope we can find out. :)

Interests

I love appreciating all aspects of life, such as the smell of trees on a springtime walk, jumping off cliffs into water, cooking meals with friends, meditating alone or having conversations about spirituality, life, philosophy, emotions, or anything regarding this journey we're all apart of. I love being authentic in all that I do. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch movies, but I love the wealth of knowledge that YouTube has! For music, I love Drumspyder, Spanish pop music, Bollywood... I'd say I'm open to anything but that's probably not true.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in 4 Indian cities, missed a bus, was caught in a police chase in our taxi and saw the Taj Mahal - all within 24 hours!
