Parent of a 2 year old vocal & naturally hyper boy. WE consider ourselves very open minded, opinionated but caring -active parents.
Live inside the country and forests, Northeast of Toronto in the Kawarthas.
Gardening arose again in me, love photography and writing-down ideas or a design plan. Natural health, growing our own food and becoming more aware of– how much?., is being the main concern for all use of electricity, water comes from a well, and garbage we produce has to be controlled from the minute we shop for 'it'.

Foreign movies, lots of good books and visuals around the house are what reflect our travel history and passion for Wild/Bush Crafting- is where we are directed.
Especially me, more and more I become more educated on Wild Edibles and Medicinal plants from just a simple hike around our surrounding woods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always been interested to Host one day.
Traveled this way a few times and they were good experiences considering cirumstances sometimes, I have always had a hosting ability seeing the Hospitality industry will do that too. Becoming a parent just gave me a superhero powers so my spidey senses have heightened too.
Caring, good listener(s) its more than me in the house..family of one child. (keep this in your pocket once we open our doors.)

Curious to see who travels this way too.
