Pretty random, sometimes spaced out, very nerdy. I follow my heart and move with the flow. I like making and appreciating art, doing creative and funny projects, and talking to strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met a lot of people on Couchsurfing who I feel very lucky to have crossed paths with. Couchsurfing has helped me to explore and build community and experience serendipity :)

I'm NOT on Couchsurfing for getting laid - someone recently messaged me to go out for drinks, and then casually mentioned that it was actually a date with him and his wife, and when I answered confused he said that everyone is now using Couchsurfing for sex. When meeting new people sexual expectations are not on my list - please only get in touch if you're feeling the same way.

Interests

Exercise, expression and nature keep me going. I like having discussions about anything, planning and doing random projects, going on adventures, or just sitting and listening to music or the birds :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Vancouver, slowly walking towards to ocean, hearing the sounds of the city and chatter of people become engulfed in the waves. I sat down by the water and looked up at the mountains. The waves felt in synche with my heartbeat and everything felt peaceful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you random things I have picked up places, like fixing a flat on your bike, french braiding, making pizza dough, or basic guitar chords. I am intrigued by most things, and would love to learn whatever you would like to teach.
