About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To maintain balance and inner peace without expectations or attachments to relationships or ideas.

ABOUT ME

Currently travelling the other side of the planet with my partner in crime. Always seeking adventure, a good conversation, a glass of wine or an ice cold beer.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing belongs to you and no one owes you anything. The only thing you have control over is yourself. Love endlessly and laugh always.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to use CS a lot when I first started travelling and when I would reside at home in Edmonton, but I haven't had the space or the time to host anyone in a long time. I used to live with five other people who all used CS and our home always had guests. When I've travelled the last couple of years I did a lot of hitchhiking and sleeping outside or with people I'd meet on the street which was new and exciting.

Interests

I love anything to do with nature: our bodies, this earth, our food, our climate, the plants and animals we share this space with. I love yoga and the art of being good to my body for the most part with a twist of certain guilty pleasures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn other people's ways of life and philosophies.
I love teaching others to be good to each other and inspiring others. You can do anything you want as long as you allow yourself to do so.
I like to give and do things for other people in any way that I can. I love community.
