CURRENT MISSION

making new friends, wherever I go!

ABOUT ME

I grew up on Vancouver island and love nature and doing anything outside! I feel at home when I'm by the ocean. I love to explore, learn new things and meet new people. I try to live life in the moment and enjoy it as much as I can with friends and family. I'm currently finishing up my degree, which is exciting and scary because I've been a student for most of my life!

*** please don't send a request unless you have at least a few quality references. I have 5 roommates and it's a busy household. Our deal is that the couchsurfers that come through must all have good references. Thanks for your understanding ***

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, don't take things too seriously, and contribute positively to the lives of others!

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy chatting and debating about a variety of topics... I always try to keep an open mind and like learning about different people's points of view.

I've been teaching myself how to play the guitar and would be happy to teach others what I know and to receive instruction from more talented guitar players!

I knit and crochet and always have various crafting ideas up my sleeve. I love sharing these!
