I am interested in community. Learning new things and meeting new people go hand in hand. I have a job I love and am currently unable to travel so for me this is the next best thing. I have loved the laughs and stories shared over nice meals and wine with couchsurfers.

PHILOSOPHY

Loving kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been rather sporadic in my couchsurfing participation. I got back from living in London England in 2006. I volunteered on an organic farm in Italy before heading back to Canada and met a few people who were couchsurfing their way across Europe. This was the first time I had heard about it. Hosting travellers is the next best thing to travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have both hosted and surfed a handful of times now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 11 days white water rafting on the Karnali river in Nepal!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love exchanging information and skills. I am a Jill of all trades perhaps leaning more towards the arts and growing food. Collaboration is intoxicating.
