I play well with others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went to burning man in 2013 and that was the first time I have left Canada in my life. I met a man that has dedicated his life to travelling abroad and he told me about couch surfing and other ways of accommodation (working for board, etc) I created my couch surfing account based on his stories he shared with me about couch surfing and it sounded very uplifting. I want to learn from people's generosity and trust and to be inspired by people's stories just like I have been inspired by my friend's stories from his experience couch surfing.

Interests

philosophy, playing my trumpet, design, drinking, writing, aerial silks, weaving, photography, sculpting, singing, performing arts, making people smile.

I listen to all music. Currently been exploring hip-hop, Latin Jazz, techno, and deep house.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

left Canada with $800 and travelled for 10 months, all of that and didn't have a Britney Spears 2008 breakdown. I am proud of it. I think that deserves a dental plan, but I would be happy with a gold star.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a human rights worker for an Edmonton based community. In my community, I support people I work for to create their own identities based on their goals and aspirations. Our community is dedicated to end the oppression of people with developmental disabilities.

I am currently employed as a curious human on this planet. And I enjoy it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a very respectable, clean guest. I love to cook my hosts dishes I have learnt while travelling and from home.

Countries I’ve Visited

Costa Rica, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Panama, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States
