CURRENT MISSION

Explore new places, meet strange & wonderful people, cram as many languages as possible into my brain before eventually turning into a crotchety literature professor with a serious coffee addiction.

ABOUT ME

I am endlessly curious about the world, and most of all about people. I'm just beginning to really explore the world, having been liberated from the routine of university life, for the time being at least. A truly nomadic lifestyle calls to me, but until I manage to scrape together enough money to support that for awhile, I'm hoping to do as much travelling and living in different places as possible. I'm fond of secondhand book shops, forests, drinking too much coffee, getting lost in a new city, daydreaming, my bicycle, picnics, red wine, nighttime, snowstorms...

I am "several people" because I am nearly always accompanied in my hosting/travelling by Geoff. He is a musician, maths teacher, acrobat, philosopher, and many more things... My partner in mischief and adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge of circus skills (poi and hoop mostly -- if you want to learn to juggle, you'll have to talk to Geoff... I still haven't managed to learn that!), delicious vegan baking, basic knitting, and guitar.

I'd love to learn about photography, and how to play the ukelele. I'm also interested in learning any language someone is willing to teach me.
