CURRENT MISSION

Travelling doing guest spots at wonderful tattoo studios all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a free thinker who loves learning about the world and the people in it. I've been a body piercer for 13+ years. I ride bicycles, unicycles and long boards. I spend my free time volunteering to teach inner city kids/families how to fix bicycles. Bikes have given me my freedom ever since I was a small child and I hold a special passion for them. I think everyone should ride a bicycle, all the time. I really want to visit Amsterdam/Holland solely because of their bicycle culture.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted in the past but more so just random people I met, not through couchsurfing.org but rather friend's of friends or bands that were on tour and needed a place to crash. Sadly I can't host at the current moment. I'm doing quite a bit of traveling lately, so I'm rarely home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Personally I haven't used this site much. I always forget about it to be honest! Though I wish I didn't as I've been travelling quite a bit and have probably missed out on meeting a ton of great people!

Interests

Body Modifications, bicycling/unicycling, my dog Ascot, self sustaining lifestyles, organic farming, social change, all living creatures. I play drums (though haven't in a while!) and I used to play the flute. I really want to learn how to play piano and violin. I was gifted a violin recently but it's still back in Canada. I love cooking. I was a vegetarian/vegan for 17 years, although I do eat meat now, I still have a passion for cooking and baking vegan deliciousness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through a jungle/rainforest, down a mountain in Puerto Rico when I lived there, then hiked up a river to a beautiful 3 tier waterfall. Spent the afternoon climbing the rocks and jumping into the water.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Awesome cooking, cleaning, amazing conversations. I can teach you how to ride a fixed gear bike or unicycle.
