About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe Diem

ABOUT ME

I'm adventure seeking, fun-loving, open to new experiences and places. I love travelling, i'm very clean and organized, and I love meeting new people.

I've been a vegetarian for 3 years now, and I absolutely love finding new recipes and ideas that are different and exciting.

I'm trying to be more of a minimalist, putting less emphasis on having "things" and more emphasis on experiences.

Right now, my life is very hard to define. I'm trying to get out of this small town and experience all that the world has to offer me. I hope that in my travels I will find a sense of purpose, and even if I don't, I'm excited to try.

PHILOSOPHY

There are a few:

1) Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got.
2) Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but I'm very excited to try it out!

Interests

SInging and playing music is my passion. I love all kinds of music, and I love to listen to other people making music. The best songs are always the ones that are written spontaneously and sung with friends.

I also love to bake and cook. Especially for other people.

Running keeps me sane.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life has so many beautiful moments. Just look up from your smartphone and you won't miss a thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone how to make delicious tiramisu, dutch crepes, or other interesting vegetarian dishes!

I can teach CPR and basic first aid to whoever wants to learn.

I would love to learn about different cultures. Since Canada is a multi-cultural country, the tradtions that have been brought over here are blurred.
