About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Drink northern lights with a giant straw on the rock, playing a game

ABOUT ME

There's a little gypsie inside of me no matter what. I traveled a lot around the country. I have a music degree (jazz piano) and I really enjoy being creative with people around me. I also did a professional cooking course. But I have been winning my life as a language assistant in elementary school and high school. So for the past couple years I have been working in different locations that way.

PHILOSOPHY

''Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness''
-Eckhart Tolle

"Everything is one thing only"
-Paulo Coelho

''€œI like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”
-Dr. Seuss

''If music be the food of love, play on.''
-William Shakespeare

''A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.''
-Frank Zappa

''All fear is imaginary, reality is its antidote.''
-Andre Comte-Sponville

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard of it through my roommates in Whitehorse. We had a few couch surfers and I thought that was awesome! So I subscribed and here I am!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had a few couchsurfers in our apartment I really enjoyed it. It is a very good way to meet people and I think that is safe and trustable.

Interests

Everything that's art grabs my attention (music!, literature, drama, visual art..etc). I also really enjoy outdoor sports, skiing, hiking, biking etc.. But I spend most of my time writing poetry and composing music on it.
