Hello :) my name is Shyane (shine)
I'm a wandering acroyogi
I have a passion for wild harvesting and foraging,
Handmade items, up cycled treasures.
I like to play with the spirit of a child,
And learn without restraint.
Experience the different flavors of existence,
With respect for all that is, for it is itself.

I am often travelling and if I am in Vancouver I am out of the house most of the day. But if you need a host I can try to help, I can usually feed you- since I get a lot of free food!

I am able to offer suggestions of free things to do around the city and can connect you to people of similar interests!

If you would like to be hosted in my home please have your profile filled out! I get alot of requests and prefer to host people who've taken the time to fill out their profile. Currently only have space for one other female guest.

I'm in a committed monogamous relationship, so I'm only on CS for friendship!

I don't drink alcohol, but I don't mind if you have a drink, or smoke/420 outside but likely won't be joining,

I am a good host for people who are introverted because when I am at home I tend to be more low-key but I always down to go out on an adventure and have a bonfire BBQ or go show you something local.

When I travel I am pretty outgoing but enjoy deep meaningful conversations and unique experiences.

I believe everyone deserves the same rights regardless of gender, race, age, or wealth. I also strongly support LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 individuals and believe that people should be allowed to be whoever they want as long as it isn’t directly harming someone. I support people who just want to “be themselves” despite their cultural pressures to change. I wouldn't say that I am politically correct so much as I appreciate some Buddhist philosophies.

I don’t support the idea that people should behave a certain way or be limited to certain behaviours because of how they were born; because they are a boy/girl or because they are poor.

The environment is important to me. I like to try to live in harmony with nature, and reduce reuse and recycle. I prefer natural food but love to try new unusual things that are offered to me.

I seem sweet and innocent but I have a dark sense of humour 😅😁

Currently I'm working on a bachelor of art with a minor in music! I am studying classical guitar and songwriting. I have an IG with my art @wabi_sabii_creations

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and explore and I want to share my culture with others and learn theirs!

(Partying and getting fucked up isn't really my thing)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gave up everything I owned and knew and trusted that everything would work out

This last summer I sailed around Vancouver island for 20 days wild foraging food, navigating the waves, tide pools, and rocks, existing with another human being respectfully and and in a civil manner 😆 and cleaning up the beaches of plastic!

Hitchhiked to burning man when I was 18 to be in the official fire conclave~ learnt to play the violin from a train hopping punk and now it's my job!
