Yearning life. I want to do things that feed my soul. Whoever you are, you are a part of my adventure, and I'm so excited to meet you.

Currently looking to move slowly through smalltown Ontario and Canada. I've been here 7 years, but am yet to truly feel like I've lived here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to feel the beating heart of Canada. And that means stopping in smaller towns and communities, and seeing just an iota of your culture. I don't want to bypass you and just skip between national parks, the people I can meet are what make this experience amazing.

I am genuinely fascinated by agriculture, and the economics of rural Canada. The balance between languages, coexistence with First Nations, and the similarities and differences between Canadians, who deal with quite the unique problem of having a very widespread population.

Interests

I studied engineering. I work on cars and computers. I still paint when I can, love reading and writing fiction, and spend a lot of my time volunteering with kids. I can dance east coast swing pretty well, and am getting better at the two-step and salsa.
