About Me

I started a CS profile in 2008 after meeting a traveller at a cafe, but I forgot about it all until the summer of 2015. He was on his last year of a master's degree to be a doctor in the UK, quit it all on a frustrated whim, and hit the road on his motorbike ever since. I still follow his travels through his beautiful photography, and it continues to inspire me to this day!

I consider myself a nomad waitress, still trying to figure out my true passion in life (I doubt there's just one). Learning about food and wine has been extremely rewarding, none the less! I enjoy living and experiencing in different parts of Canada, and travelling to other beautiful places in between. I'm really just now beginning to discover the scope and possibilities of this wonderful community!

I've been in the beautiful town of Dahab for the past 6 weeks, and it looks I'll be here for about another two months. Now that I have a place of my own, my lovely fellow Canadian roommate and I are happy to say we're open up for guests! Looking for open minded, kind folks to share our space with. If you need somewhere to crash in the Sinai, don't hesitate to send a request. We'd love for you to enjoy this special place as much as we do! *not interested for flirting/dating purposes*

Music, Movies, and Books

Folk, alternative, bluegrass, metal, trip hop, lots of electronic, drum & bass, swing; really too much amazing music to list off. Tool gets an honourable mention (whoa, changed my life). Laura Marling, Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Cat Power. Nothing makes me feel more at home than Celtic tunes. I'm especially drawn to powerful lyrics! Put on the Graceland album by Paul Simon, and I'll be as happy as a clam.
