CURRENT MISSION

To travel hopefully rather than waiting to arrive . . .

ABOUT ME

A lively faerie of the forests searching for adventure . . . Presently, a tree planter but a self employed artist of a delightfully chaotic nature most of the time. I have recently graduated with a BFA in technical theatre from SWGC in Newfoundland. My heart and soul resides with the ebb of the sea, the whistling winds, and the trees on both coasts of Canada.

PHILOSOPHY

. . . it is better to travel hopefully than it is to arrive, for it is the journey that will change you . . .

I believe in Karma.

I tend to contradict everything. For each negative there is a positive, thus I tend not to come to a lot of conclusions but continue to search for the answers to , at times, convoluted questions. However, I always look at life through multiple perspectives and am aware that mine will change due to the enlightenment of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have enjoyed the opportunity of meeting some grand people through couch surfing, some I have hosted or have just met along their travels. My house is always open to those who need a place to stay, to share stories and to explore where I live. I couch surfed during my travels in Europe and continue to host in Newfoundland while I reside here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting grand guests through other hosts as well as by hosting; sharing a path in lives, then diverging with the hopes of meeting again.

Interests
