CURRENT MISSION

Wandering around from song to song, seeking my own rhythm...

ABOUT ME

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.“ St. Augustine

"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.“ Henry Miller

"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home.“ James Michener

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“ Mark Twain

PHILOSOPHY

Life passes most people by while they're busy making grand plans for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
– Maya Angelou

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was taken in from the cold outdoors in Toronto. We ate salad and played Cranium until 4 in the morning. Needless to say it was lovely.

I love to meet people. I recently moved to Vancouver so I am still discovering all of the random adventures one can have here. If you want to join me, give me a shout...

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a ridiculous bookworm. I'll read anything from Harry Potter to a dictionary of natural medicine to random academic journals or a Penguin translation of Cicero's speeches. There is a distinct place in my heart for cookbooks and ingredients manuals. But I have to admit right now I am undergoing a serious addiction to cheesy romance novels ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... Seen... well some of my favourite and most memorable places were Quebec City in the summertime, the ancient ruins of Paestum, the inauguration of Barack Obama, the City of the Dead (under Vatican City) and hearing the musicians at the Maison des jeunes in Bamako.
