Hello everyone, I'm currently taking a year off work to explore, travel, and try new jobs. I'm heading to Perth to look for FIFO jobs and to travel on days off.

ABOUT ME

Im a double edged sword, calm and collected, but not afraid to go and get lost, I'm an engineer by day, yogi by night. I have a true zest and passion for life. I try to preserve this miracle that is life and offer back what I can.

I am also a yoga teacher that loves to teach both new and old yogis. I am constantly learning through my own practice and through the guidance of others.

I have done a lot of hard work and traveling throughout my life. From working in the Canadian Oil Patch to then going to school for 6 years.

I love to dance to electronic music as well as live indie and rock, if the music is good I can dance for hours on lemon water alone :P Meeting new people and socialising over coffee, boardgames, local food, and other interesting event are the simple joys in my life. I also love to go and get lost in the great outdoors, I have been rock climbing since I was six years old.

Meditation has always played the most important role in my life, offering me guidance and showing me things I could not have possible found on my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I always recommend couchsurfing to people since most of them either dont know about it or think its dangerous.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Iv been shown around some really nice places in UK, Ukraine, Montreal, and Copenhagen.

Last year before my meditation retreat I was hosted in Montreal by the cities most amazing chef, he gladly met the challenge of making me delicious vegetarian food, for that I am most grateful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed in Yosemite Valley, Worked in the Yukon, went to Shambhala 2011, Cherry picked in BC. Lived in Thailand for 3 months and climbed my little heart out. Sailed from Grenada to St. Vincent in the Caribbean. Biked across Greece and Taiwan.

And the most amazing.... just being utterly and completely me, takes a lot :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Socrates and everyone, I turn them into teachers by being present and learning everything I can from them in what ever few fleeting glimpses I can get.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give one on one yoga classes to suit your needs in exchange for a couch :P
I also am very handy and a mechanic, I can help with some renovations and auto repair.

I am also a refreshing character that is both down to earth and can hold a good conversation, offering new perspectives and insights.
