About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working with and gaining information and practise with the Biodynamic agriculture and gardening systems.

Meeting people and exploring New Zealand

ABOUT ME

I like flowers, books, bare feet and laughing.
I'm friends with birds, dogs, water, and light.
I've been in the clouds, far away, in the oceans and right next door.
I've heard stories, dreams, storms, and songs.

PHILOSOPHY

Haste makes waste, so I take my time and smile at the small things in life. Being ordinary is for the ordinary

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Up until this point I have only ever surfed(Europe and Eastern Canada), I currently don't have a home and am travelling. I used to meet up with people and show them the hidden spots in Niagara Falls and get away from the tourism!
I've had the best experiences, and met some of the greatest people, and can't wait to further my exposure with the world

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Montreal was amazing!! Staying with Marco and his entourage of world travellers and instafriends. It felt like we were Montreal that week.

Interests

Right now I am living a dream I made when I was 20, before I had any knowing I would become a gardener! I had to write a paper in German on my dream job and I said I would be a gardener who travels the world and learns and teaches with different people, cultures, and plants! Currently I am in New Zealand learning about Biodynamics!
I am interested in using plants for other things than just looking pretty, which stemmed from a the challenges of three years of Ornamental training. I just believe limited resources can be used more responsibly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've become friends with people from all over the world, and I am so grateful for them, the times we've shared and the things we've done. It's our encounters that have changed me the most and kept me smiling!

Teach, Learn, Share

People who are afraid, but do it anyways,
who have a lot to say, but can also stop and listen.
