Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couch surfing has given me the opportunity to meet the greatest and most kind people from around the world. I would like to offer any advice about the countries I have traveled to and help other travelers along their journey. I'm also always open to traveling with other people.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
One of the most amazing things I got to experience was the close connections I had to the elephants in India and Sri Lanka. The best shower I ever had was from an elephant! Also riding through the amazon river through Colombia, Brazil and Peru on a 9 day scorching hot boat. Road tripping through Mexico, Belize and Guatemala!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to cook! I like to learn and also teach cooking as I used to be in culinary school. Also I believe the kitchen is when everyone can come together and do something together :) make something beautiful and delicious. I can share my poi spinning and my ukulele with anyone who is interested in learning :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
An exotic Canadian accent and possibly a stash of maple syrup.
My Interests
My interests are always changing the more I learn. I like to learn a little bit of everything. I enjoy nature and the outdoors, sand boarding, extreme sports, painting, making art, reading poetry and writing. I like to think and talk about the world around us, the beings on them and the universe and beyond. I can spin and dance with fire! It is called Poi. I can teach you :) I most enjoy my time when I am surrounded by good people. When I am with good people then I enjoy everything to a coffee, walking around the city, being at the beach, getting lost or doing something random!
