About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning through living

ABOUT ME

Some random stuff:
-I taught myself to drive a motorcycle while living in Vietnam.
-I bring my infant daughter to my law classes.
-I've never died my hair.

PHILOSOPHY

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed couches in Canada, the UK and Indonesia.

My goal is to see the world AND avoid tourist traps, thus far I've found couchsurfing a really effective way to do that because locals are the true heart of every city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't hosted yet (probably because I'm in such an inconvenient location for surfers) but I have surfed couches in Scotland, Wales, England and Indonesia. They were all really great experiences, I plan to do it again for my next trip, CAN'T WAIT! Look forward to hosting sometime in the future :)

Interests

I am a wonk, I love all things nerdy.
I love spending time with my family and travelling as much as possible!

-Music: a little of everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode an elephant in Vietnam, hunted Nessy in Scotland and saved two lives in Canada... All in a day's work!

Teach, Learn, Share

-Teaching: Anything I know is yours for the taking, just ask :)

-Learning: I'm addicted to learning new/interesting things. Not too picky about the genre... Unless its about the Kardashians, the less I know about that the better. Dont even know if that's spelt it correctly but I refuse to google it.

Countries I’ve Visited

Countries I’ve Lived In
