About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore and meet great people!

ABOUT ME

Well I am outgoing and energetic and like to try new things. I enjoy traveling, music, writing, drawing, cycling and dancing.
I'm easy going, and a fun time for me can include almost anything, whether its going to see a local band or racing my bikes.
I'm a student, and I work three jobs, so I keep very busy, but like to balance my time off with short trips to the mountains for skiing, or to nearby music festivals.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe there's good in everyone, and people are often very apprehensive or afraid to meet new people because before you know them they are "strangers". I don't mean don't be careful, I just like to approach situations with an open mind, and learn about other people. I live to make an impact on people with who I am, and learn and be impacted by others. I think that's what gives me the biggest personal growth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, in my living situation I cannot accommodate couch surfers, but I move often and do when I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed at several places in Canada, and have had a wonderful experience! One bloke even lent me his bed, while taking the couch himself! Later when he moved to Winnipeg we became great friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favourite movie would have to be Garden State. As for everything else, well there's too many to name! I adore gaphic novels of all sorts, and have an extensive collection (I am a huge fan of Charles Burns' work). Music changes daily from indie, punk, rock, folk, a little bit of everything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a lot of great things in my life, but I think one of my most amazing feelings was when I went to Alberta to teach music to youth. It felt great to work with all sorts of kids that had such a passion for music! it helped me a lot in my lifetime and I felt it was really important to provide these people with an outlet for the tough years they'll go through, in a constructive way!

Teach, Learn, Share

I always love improving my french skills, it's not something I get to practice too often anymore!
I tech what I can, I love art, and showing people the ins and outs of cities I know without being "touristy". I like to experience culture and food, and am always open to learn how to cook a new dish! In return I can teach you how to make some mean veggie sushi!
