About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to explore and meet new people along the way

ABOUT ME

I've lived in just about every major city in Ontario at one point in my life. I move around a lot so traveling comes very naturally to me, I get stir crazy just living any where for too long. I love meeting new people, it's what I do at work everyday, meet hundreds of people a day and I love the random conversations I get to have with people. I'm open minded and a positive person, that enjoys making the people around me happy.

Just spent the past 19 months travelling and volunteering around the world and now making a home for myself in Iceland!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't dwell on the past,
on things you can't change
Things happen for a reason,
Some we can't explain.
All we can do is move forward,
and live our lives for today.

a random poem I wrote when I was 12, my personal mantra I guess you could say

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted about 30 people in Kyoto Japan!

My reply percentage is REALLY low...I was travelling for awhile and forgot to change my status! Woops!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience was AMAZING!! I met so many interesting and wonderful people!

Interests

Travel, Travel and more travel....oh and meeting people along the way :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies, too many to list (i am a student of film), I love documentaries too.
Music, anything that excites me...a new sound, something a little off beat
I enjoy reading, my tastes are as varied as my tastes in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done was traveling to Salt Lake City Utah to shoot a documentary on UFO's. It was like living out a childhood dream. I got to stay up all night watching the sky for suspicious activity right outside the "new area 51" and looked for skin walkers at Skin Walker ranch. Even had a run in with a ghost!

Hosted about 30 CSer's in Japan with my cousin in her amazing house right outside Kyoto. Had an amazing experience in Japan, love the people and the culture.

Moved out to Vancouver, got to work for the Olympics, which was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Traveled to South East Asia for 3 months, then back to Vancouver then to Central America for 3 months. Moved to
Victoria, where I lived happily for 3 years, now I'm off on my next adventure!
