Quiet is severely underrated. Silence can be a privilege. I enjoy reading non-fiction. I like to write.

Laughter, doobies and meaningful conversation are a few of my favourite things. I also enjoy coffee, laughter, and red wine (though I'm not a big drinker).
Generally, I'm quite quiet. I'm tidy. Respect and thoughtfulness are two significant virtues which I seek from myself and others.

I do not like checking emails or being on the computer in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked Lone Cone Mountain in Clayoquot Sound. Not a huge mountain, but, was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm fascinated by human power relations and cultures. I love hearing about others' travels since I haven't done much myself. Opinions can be interesting--as long as they are well-informed/substantiated. Ideas/philosophy/wonderings/experiences tend to make the best conversation.

I'm quite interested in alternative & sustainable living, organic foods/products and the environment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Thoughtful/meaningful conversation is something I tend to be good at. Listening can teach you so many things about others.

But, I can also be very quiet and be comfortable alone.

I know how to clean up after myself. I can cook; love to barbecue.

Polite. Neat. Kind. Respectful. Thoughtful. Curious.
