I enjoy thrift stores, old things in general, the colour green, peanut butter, crafting, photography, being outside while it's snowing, and of course travelling! I try to live a life of love, peace, hospitality, and restoration.

I read a quote once which goes something like this: "Don't think about what the world needs. Find out what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because the world needs people who have come alive." Sounds like a good plan to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to host someday when I have the space, but for now I enjoy meeting new people when I travel, and having places to stay which are much more homey than a hotel or hostel. Through my travels I have been blown away by the kindness and hospitality of strangers. It reminds me the world is not as scary or dangerous a place as people would have you believe, and I love being a part of that.
