About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Relocate to the Yukon for a few years, learn skills, save money, buy property somewhere and start a farmstead

ABOUT ME

I am 30, born in Toronto Ontario, grew up in Sarnia Ontario. I was on the road on and off since I was 19 and settled in Vancouver BC for 5 years to focus on circus and youth work. Now I'm remembering I hate the city and look forward to never living in a big city again. Time to go rural so I can learn what I need to learn to go off grid.

PHILOSOPHY

"dream like your going to live forever, live like you going to die today" i dont want to waste my life away, I dont want to be successful and hoard riches. I want to be happy and hoard experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i havent really had many "official" couch surfing experiences. ive done it plenty the old fashioned way. but i usually just sleep outside.

Interests

I lived and breathed object manipulation for a long time, less so now.
I love having great conversations and finding out that I'm wrong, because if I'm wrong it means I have the opportunity to learn something new.
I want to focus my energy into real world skills going forward, primitive skills, bushcraft, building, farming etc.
My goal right now is to move to the Yukon in May 2018 and spend a few years focusing on saving money and learning skills so that I can start a Farmstead and spend the rest of my life outside as much as possible, on the farm for the workday and out in the bush when I crave adventure. Focusing on being more and more efficient/ sustainable sounds like great fun to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was homefree by choice for almost 5 years. In that time I hitchhiked around southern BC, down to San Fransisco and back a few times, went to Burningman twice, and participated in a circus camp in Bali.

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE teaching anyone i come across how to juggle if they are interested (and even if they say they aren't!).

I have a rich background in the spiritual realms that I mostly no longer practice but am always down to chat about. My mind works based on logic, it's off putting to many, but its often a very helpful perspective to those who are open to it, critical thinking is of the upmost importance to me.
