CURRENT MISSION

I want to soak up as much as I can from whoever is willing to teach me. I am an unconventional student who learns from doing and listening. So... I want to do a lot of things and collect a lot of stories.

ABOUT ME

I hear I am a bit like a border collie.... seriously. A puppy.
I am (also) a 27-year old with an exceptionally active inner child inside of me... this child is kicking my ass constantly if ever I sit down for too long, stay in one place for too many seasons, or sleep in too late. I love to read, and re-read, bike, hike, and swim. I have a longboard and some pretty worn out shoes (the two go hand-in-hand.)

I work making raw food for a living, and I am considering taking up acting/theatre as a hobby/pass time. I am a vegan and an animal lover. I do yoga regularly, but in the least flaky way possible.

I am currently orbiting through Toronto, soon I'll orbit through somewhere new.

PHILOSOPHY

Tread lightly. Eat well. Be happy. Keep going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not officially participated yet, but I have hichhiked and backpacked through my travels, and thought couch surfing might make that a bit easier to achieve/enjoy.

None yet, but hopefully I can find some cool folks to stay with this summer on my travels!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I was climbing over a fence and I fell off onto a metal traffic pole which caused me to puncture my lung... which most people would not be very proud of, but it was the reason I quit smoking, so... WIN.
