CURRENT MISSION

... to challenge my weaknesses and develop my strengths

ABOUT ME

I love to laugh. I love to visit new places and meet new people. I'm open minded. I can be rather laid-back, yet equally dramatic. I'm friendly. I'm stubborn. I'm a random thinker ... definitely outside the box at times. I'm a big fan of self-discovery and personal growth ... that sounds lame I know but what can I say? I'm introspective. I love music and art. I enjoy cinematic entertainment. I like to read. I love long walks, especially late at night. I like board games. I love sleeping in hammocks. I love those days that turn out nothing like you thought when you set out, and you couldn't have had a better time if you had planned it perfectly. I like dancing to cover bands that play songs that everyone knows the words to and play them well. I love to share a good meal. I thrive on banter. I need time to be by myself. I like ridiculous TV shows that are clearly a waste of my time. I really like chocolate. I like to listen to music loudly. I like to rock out while I drive with the windows down.

PHILOSOPHY

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Admittedly I have been out of the loop for a while, but I'm looking to jump back in with both feet. I'm unable to host, but would love to meet up with those passing through my city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed, I've hosted, and I've been to some sweet gatherings. I'm looking forward to moving back to Canada to both show and experience home in a whole new way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always want to fill this spot with something really cool and impressive but as of late, I've decided to keep these things to myself ... or to let them come up in conversation when we meet.

Backpacking this fall I had several 'moments' , these indescribeable 'moments' that made the whole journey ... even the shitty parts ... totally worth it. And it's those moments that are worthy of awe.

Teach, Learn, Share
