ABOUT ME

I am continually amazed by this world. There are so many small and beautiful, as well as grand and wonderful things to discover. However, in a world that is full of fear, distrust, and division, I think that Couchsurfing plays an important role in shattering people's assumptions and bringing us together. We can all contribute to compassion, understanding, and respect together. Please help me convince others that this world still has hope.

PHILOSOPHY

"Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." Henry David Thoreau

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many gems to list!

One of my fondest Canadian memories is from when I was living on Hornby Island in 2010. My fabulous landlords took me out on a short kayak paddle to Flora Island. On the way to Flora we spotted Orcas, the first of the season! Another woman who joined us said she had been waiting 25 years to see Hornby's Orcas! After they playfully passed by we docked on the shores of the small island. Perched on giant pieces of driftwood we had an amazing dinner, even complimented by wine. As the evening approached, the sun began to sink in the sky casting pastel oranges, pinks, and purples onto the horizon. As we paddled into the vibrantly reflective waters, behind us the moon hovered in it's entirety in the encroaching darkness of the night.
Purely magical.

Some of my fondest international memories are:
-biking across the Scandinavian and Baltic countries
-glow worms, kiwis, and giant sea lions in New Zealand
-beautiful sunsets over the ocean in Bretagne
-dizzying colours, smells, and wonders in India

Let's share more amazing tales sometime! I would love to hear yours!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been studying French for years but still lack confidence (my world is mostly English). So if you speak French and are patient let me know! :)

Also, I am happy to be a patient listener with people trying to improve their English.

I can also offer some knowledge on biking (mechanics and touring), gardening, sustainability, various outdoor activities, and many other topics!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My eternal gratitude, help around the house, meals, a listening ear, outsider perspective, and calming vibes.
