I lived in Linden House Community House in Victoria when it was running, which was a great community house and we had couch surfers come by to our abode in Lkwungen WSANEC aka Victoria. I do not use a credit card, I am an anti capitalist. I am Acadian Metis born in Winnipeg, mom left North End when I was nine, left Manitoba when I was 13, I spent 20'ish yrs. in Alberta and been in Victoria 20'ish years now. I am an anti poverty and environmentalist activist full time as I am on disability. I am all about eating good, taking care as best I can and as much home grown goodness as possible! I love guitars on porches and beaches, barbecues, a good rally and protest to help bring about much needed change. I was a teenage runaway who is Lived Experience of Homelessness and am a Co Founder of LEAC, Lived Experience Advisory Council. I am a video artist... (See Teach Learn Share for more)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

We are in hard times and need community, and I am poor as well. I am all about community building where ever I go as I am a activist. I am usually doing some political work so am on the go. I love to learn new things and its the best way to do so, thru people. I am all about community building, taking care of our water and land, all about First Nations leading and de colonising. Not going to hotels helps build community! Basically. I am not into Greed Kapitalism is main reason.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

LOADS! Gardening, herbs and natural medicines for life, blogging (ctehv.wordpress.com THAW blog) I am an advocate and started Transform Homelessness Advocacy WAtch (THAW Victoria on Youtube, THAW Advocacy WAtch on VIMEO), I love listening to music, poetry and to hear new ideas on community living, art, film, and I love to learn more about gardening when ever possible!

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Information, skills, networking as well. I am all about community building and have years of skills I am happy to offer and, am always wanting to learn and hear from others. So much diversity and we got to stay real. From security culture to gardening to music I am in for a good political personal radical and inspirational discusion with music and nature and real, lots of real.
