Originally from Nelson, British Columbia, Canada. Moved over seas when I was 13 with my family. Graduated from Shanghai, China. Moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia where I lived for 5 years and completed my undergrad, majoring in Film.

Deep love the mountains, enjoy hiking, trail running, slacklining, skiing, and climbing (although still learning that one).
Social and outgoing, to meet and connect with groovy new humans makes my world go 'round.
Embarked on a path of consciousness and mindfulness of going deeper into my inner self, always a student and always learning. I love it all, always happy to share experiences of what I've learnt.

Spend summer working in the bush planting trees and/or firefighting. Puts some $$ in the pockets and gets me in nature all day long. Tough work, but shows you what you're made of.

Don't play music but I love the crap out of it - especially dancing. Funky tunes or lives jams hold a special place in my heart.

Cheers & one love,
Megin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy getting around on a small budget, much more personal, adds to my experience and whatever adventure I am currently on. Opens a window to learn about more people and different ways of living. To network and connect, who knows we might just become life long friends - I can't say it hasn't happened in the past.
Plus it's better than the Hilton... anything is better than the Hilton Hotel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of newschool funk i.e. funk dj's (like the funk hunters, a.skillz, stickybuds etc), indie folk, 70s folk, jazz (frank sinatra, ella, jeff healy), reggae! can always get down to some reggae, anything that isn't on top 40 radio.

Also into guided meditations and podcasts (SHOUT OUT TO ALAN WATTS)

Most recent book I read and couldn't put down: Born to Run.
A few authors I dig: Brene Brown, Jon Kobat-Zinn, Eckart Tolle.

Movies: comedies, I like to laugh.. or lord of the rings type of stories. oh and documentaries and sports/adventure films (Valhalla might just be my favourite).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode camels for 4 hours back to town/civilization from our Bedouin camp in the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan.

Teach, Learn, Share

My experiences, new tunes, could show you how to knit/crochet, my perspective :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mutual respect, good conversation, someone who listens (I mean really listens), unconditional love, yummy vegetarian recipes, opportunity to slow down and chill.

Oh yeah and angel card readings :)
