I have the travel bug and I never want to cure it. Life is my lesson, travel my teacher. I love experiencing new places, people, cultures, and foods. I enjoy taking myself out of my comfort zone to continually challenge myself to learn and grow, giving me greater understanding, acceptance, and compassion for different people, cultures, and beliefs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best way to get to know people is by welcoming and being welcomed into a home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to music, pretty much all times, but prefer an upbeat beat great for dancing too and for the times I'm in a more chill mood I enjoy acoustical music. I also love lyrics with great messages and inspiration. Which also rings true for the type of movies I like to watch and books I like to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've swam in a lake full of thousands of jellyfish that because they have no predators they have lost their need to sting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to do all of the above. If I don't know how to do something, I'll teach myself and do it. I'll pretty much try anything. I'm quite tech-savvy and have even taught at the post-secondary level. I've made wine, cheese, sewn dresses, changed brake pads and have even built a house.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm quite helpful around the house and always enjoy offering up my extra set of hands to accomplish whatever tasks need to get done.

I have an upbeat personality and like to make the most out of life. I inject joy into everything I do and it radiates to others around me.
