About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Expand my global circle of rad friends

ABOUT ME

I love both traveling and meeting other travelers. I have spent a lot of time in Asia, but am eager to see as much of the world as possible. I moved to Vancouver six years ago and love this city. When I can't travel, I spend my summers dancing outside as much as possible, going to all kinds of outdoor festivals, from Burning Man in the Nevada desert to small local ones in the forests of British Columbia. I have the most amazing friends, and am always looking to meet more!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to find my passions, and to learn more about myself. My biggest goal in life is to practice openness, non-judgement and compassion. I like meeting people that expand my limits, even though it can be challenging. The more things I experience, the more I will learn what makes me happy.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only hosted and not surfed, and it has been amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I read constantly, my best technology purchase ever was an e-book reader. I love everything: fantasy, Tolkien and Robert Jordan, classics like Jane Austen and Arthur Conan Doyle, and everything in between.

Music: When it's dance time I love electronic music that is glitchy, wompy, and bassy. I also get down to lots of other music, anything from Johnny Cash to John Butler Trio.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked around Uluru at dawn.
Snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef.
Watched a sea turtle lay eggs on a beach.
Been skydiving twice.
Made the trek to Burning Man five times.

This is where I've been in the world so far, I want to work on making this map all red!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has a story. If you bump up against something you don't like, try to imagine where they are coming from. More understanding in this world can only make it better.
