I am a free spirited, fun loving, health conscious Canadian traveller. Nature is where my spirit feels at peace and so I make it a priority to get out into the wilderness at least once a week especially when living in a city. I much prefer to be in the country, in the jungle or forest, where I move slowly and deliberately looking for familiar or new edible plants to forage and add to my diet. I love wild meat and will utilize every part of the animal possible. I’m not shy on the wierd foods ;P
I love to move and dance, stretch and flow.
I love people too. As much as I love being out in nature on my own, I love being around people, getting to know thier stories and who they are. Sharing experiences and view points. I’m always willing to change my mind ^_^
I’m an open book. Ask & I will share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am travelling the world, wanting to see and experience different places and people. I would much rather meet locals and get thier view of thier suroundings than staying in a hostel following touristy things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve hiked out to the fresh lava flows on the Big Island in Hawaii in 2013 at dawn. Watched the bright red glow in the darkness, the sun rise over the ocean, and a double rainbow appear as the lava poured into the ocean. A most beautiful sight and experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an avid learner. I love anything health related. Movement, nutrition, edible plants. I have a relatively vast knowledge of edible plants compared to the average person, and lots of movement and nutritional wisdom. I’d love to learn about what sparks your passion. Share health meals (I’m happy to cook!), and soulful conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to share my knowledge of edible plants in your area, show you some fun ways to incorporate wild food into your dishes. With a background in massage therapy, and passion for body awareness I potentially could help you adjust your movement or posture to ease stiffness and discomfort.
