About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To document and live the life I wish for others!

ABOUT ME

So, I think Batman's hot.
Introductions are some what of difficult. Whether it be from a secret identity or perhaps just a life of many names and faces. For as a someone close to my heart once said; "It is not who I am on the outside, but what I do that defines me". So why don't we start there? What I do.

During the day you will likely find me with a camera attached to my hand searching for new forms of beauty. Looking for some adventure whether that be through a journey, a battle or a means to grow. During the night it's... well it's actually about the same! Moving a shindig to the evening just puts more of and edge on them. Which leads us to here. I suppose what I'm looking for is more adventure with edge.

Now at this point in my life, I'm generally at peace. I'm striving towards new and old goals and my life is finally starting to get on track. What I am missing is what I believe we all could use more of in our lives:

More adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

Start living or start dieing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed the Canada's and the America's in search of adventure and wonder! I have also hosted some lovely people who do the same!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've come to realize that people can all be ridiculous if prompted in a fun way, so all the best experiences I've had have involved a lot of willingness, a touch of risk and a lot of ludicrousness.

Interests

Batman, hula/fire hooping, dabbling in poi, guitar, video games, clothing design, cosplay, opera, rocking out, photography, conventioning and all sorts of fun!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite experience thus far was participating in a production of Puccini's Turandot.
Opera is a fantastic way to touch people I think.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not exactly sure what i could teach. I can make clothes fairly well so if you want to make a ridiculous costume or oufit, i'm your lady! Could probably teach you how maximize your nerdism!
I'm currently one of the Zombie Fighting Stand (BZRD, Bureau of Zombie research and defense) so if you needed to know how to survive to zombie apocalypse, Ive got your back.

I want to learn everything though! Anything that can be taught I am here to absorb!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are up for an adventure I can usually guarantee one of pretty epic scale!
