About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to DO THIS.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently studying, and thanks to my online program I get to travel long term to. I'm heading to Europe for the summer to teach, but have decided to make it a grand tour of Europe- going back to some favourite spots and discovering some new ones. I've bounced around a lot in order to find a passion. One day I realized the only think I've ever loved to do constantly is travel.

PHILOSOPHY

When I was around 15 I was sitting in a piano lesson that I really did not want to be in. I have this weird fixation with "The Importance of Being Ernest". I can't read it on the bus because I laugh to myself, and not in a cute chuckle way, in a "if I was drinking right now, things would come out of my nose" way. Anyway, I was in this lesson and I couldn't get the notes right, and my teacher told me to practice my accuracy. To which I quoted:
"I don't play accurately - anyone can play accurately , but I play with wonderful expression."
So my personal philosophy: live with wonderful expression.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love books. I'm still not sold on this e-reader thing... Right now I'm reading The Godfather. I've been saying the reason I've not seen the movie is because I haven't read the book. Changing that now.
As for movies, I haven't seen many, but I'm always open to new ones.
Music? I'm really not to picky. There's something good in every genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Rimini there was a big street party. There were fireworks at midnight. A bunch of people I worked with and I sat and watched them. It wasn't much, but it was a perfect moment with amazing friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to knit or some basic sewing! I always carry thread with me, so spontaneous macrame bracelets are always a thing.
I can also, staying true to my Canadian roots, teach you how to make poutine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything! I'm a very open person.

Countries I’ve Visited

Albania, Austria, Bahamas, Croatia, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States
