ABOUT ME

I am a rumble-tumble vegan girl who likes to drink sangria & ride bicycles.
I use the word lurking frequently and call people "kitten"
My laugh is sort of like a shriek and I make a little high pitched sound after I burp that sounds like a hiccup.
I'm a lot of fun and I usually have loads of amazing bruises on my legs.

I backpacked around Europe last summer, for two months. I visited Scotland, Austria, Slovakia, Finland, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Poland & Hungary. Helsinki is the most amazing place on earth during the summer but I have a big soft spot for Berlin!

I really really love bicycles a lot. Especially riding my bike to the ocean to go swimming.
That makes me feel like sunshine jelly.
I'm a tidy person.
I am completely enamored with cats and I do like dogs.
I also read a lot.
and dancing, I like dancing.

I am totally addicted to coffee & it is best served first thing in the morning, in the sun, with a cigarette in my other hand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to The Northwest Territories to a community of 1200 people. I saw the aurora borealis. I also saw the ice break on the Mackenzie River. Quite amazing, actually.
