About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spending some time making some money. Travel the world in my living room, vicariously, through you, for now...

ABOUT ME

Highly sensitive adventure seeker. Funny, spontaneous, serious, contemplative. Always balanced. Currently undergoing a destruction phase, killing ego to find self. Trying not to attatch to anything, realizing I am everyone. Creating excitment for life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far all of my couchsurfing experiences have been unofficial, as it was never planned, no emails sent, just genuine organic on the spot one person sharing their city, their space, their joy. I have hosted many wonderful people, who have taught me so much.

Interests

I used to be a bicycle messenger in Edmonton, Vancouver, and New York. It is still my prefered method of transport, and I love to ride the endless river valley trails here in Edmonton. I have extra bikes if you would like to take a tour as well.
Also I am into painting, meditation, playing frisbee, semi precious stones, and cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bukowsky, Kerouac, David Suzuki, et al
About movies, I guess I can watch mostly everything, original scenario, movies from another culture, documentary about meaning of life....

I'm pretty open for music, rock to reggae, jazz to punk, folk to psychedelic music....

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm this part is interesting. I will have to think about more skills that could be at least partially imparted in a short time.

Everywhere I go the food always enchants me and I never leave without being confident I can bring my favorites back with me. Weeks and weeks spent in tiny villages across central america and south east asia shopping, prepping, and taking meticulous notes along with tons of practice and a true love of sharing great food makes cooking one of my favorite skills.

I love to learn new things.
