After living 20 years on a small island in British Columbia, Canada, I have set out to spend 6 months seeing and experiencing some of our magnificent planet.

I just spent the month of November 2016 in Mahon, Menorca, Spain studying Payaso (clown) at Bont's International Clown School. Next I go to Mallorca to study more Payaso, and do a work exchange. Then to Barcelona for more Payaso and to discover this city I have heard so much about. I may stay in Barcelona for a week, maybe for a month? Eventually I would like to make my way to Andalucia and maybe even Maroc.

I am an energetic, intelligent, fun and fun-loving person. My favourite thing to do is dance. I have had some wonderful dancing experiences here in Spain. Que alegria!

I have my own sleeping bag and pillow. I am self-sufficient, responsible and like to contribute my energy wherever I am.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am Couchsurfing and doing HelpX as ways to meet locals and get away from tourist traps. I love to experience life and cultures as they are, not as the tourists pay for them to be.

I am a considerate house guest and fun flatmate. I tidy up after myself, and I'm a pretty good cook. I can make myself quiet in a corner, or go out discovering the area where you live, or hang out at your home and be great company. Each make me happy in different ways. Let's find the balance you, as my host, prefer.

I have been a WWOOFing host (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) for over 12 years. I tried to be a couchsurfing host, but I only got a few last minute requests and couldn't accommodate on such short notice. I look forward to try to improve that when I go home to Canada in the spring.

For more information about me, here is my HelpX profile

兴趣

I love to dance! (I know I'm repeating myself, but that's how much I love to dance!) I dance for pleasure and for performance. I dance to express emotions and to free my spirit. I dance to condition my body, and keep myself strong. I dance because the music moves me. I dance because I can!

I am a multi-disciplinary artist (I use the term discipline loosely ;) and like to use my art to connect with and for the earth. I have transformed a vast array of "garbage" products into art in my years of practice.

I LOVE this beautiful planet. I believe strongly that Water Is Life and I do what I can to preserve and protect it. I have been studying Payaso as a way to bring levity to political actions back home, and to bridge "us" and "them" mentalities. There is only us on this one planet.

I love dogs. Dogs love me. It works beautifully for all involved.

I tolerate cats. Cats tolerate me. We come to understandings around our mutual boundaries. It works.

I enjoy philosophical discussions and musings about life. I am open to new experiences. I'll try just about anything once - tho I always reserve the right to say no, or maybe later.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love just about all music - mostly prefer electronica, fusion, latin, salsa, cumbia, middle eastern, funk, balkan, klesmer, opera, spiritual, gospel....But really - all music when it has heart and soul!

Movies - I tend to forget them after I see them. I know I've enjoyed them, but I really don't hold on to movies. I don't like horror movies.

I LOVE books! Fiction, Science Fiction and Non-fiction that help one grow or broadens one's perspective on life.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I was bitten by a wolf when I was 1 1/2 years old. I can show you the scar, if you'd like. That isn't really something I've done, rather something that happened to me.

Currently I am studying Payaso (Clown) in Spain. That's an amazing experience...

教，学，和分享

I used to teach dance, but haven't for 5 years, since I had a brain hemorrhage (another amazing thing that happened to me!) I have been fully recovered for 3 years now. One day I may teach dance again.

I love to learn new things. Right now I am actively learning Spanish.

I like to share. Sharing is good and makes everyone richer!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share stories, cooking, fun, inspiration, excursions, idea exchanges, discussions. I can also help out with any projects around your home that might need doing. I am very handy and have quite a bit of building, painting, fixing experience.

I am happy to tidy up after myself, and help with a deeper clean before I leave.
