About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience EVERYTHING! To live on the edge of life & death, to go lava surfing and deep sea diving, and sky diving from the outer atmosphere!!!

ABOUT ME

I love spices. Any food with lots of flavor can call my stomach home!

I love adrenaline and exploring. My favorite combos are wilderness camping, urban exploring, random kayaking adventures (we blow them up and just explore any rivers in the province!). Anything to get your heart pumping! Live with no regrets, don't say no to a new adventure!!! You will ALWAYS have a great time!!

I'm passionate about music, art and dance. If you like to jam, or sing then you will be in good company! I have a small music room with a horde or instruments and would love to do some covers and stuff with you!

Recently I've been a BIG book worm...I think I've read about twenty books in the last few months, and writing short stories every other day in the last few weeks. Some favorites so far: The Martian Chronicles and the Ender's Game Saga.

Games? Please, it's hard enough to fit stuff into my life, WHY DID SOMEONE INVENT GAMES. I actually develop board games as a side business, that's how addicted I am! And video games...teacher, mother....secret lover.

PHILOSOPHY

Love your neighbour. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Judge not, lest ye be judged. People are important in this world, perhaps the only thing that is truly precious.

Don't judge, show love. Understand others and do things for their benefit, even under difficult circumstances.

Never turn down a request for help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I moved to Singapore recently so I don't have a couch or extra bed, but I'm willing to meet up!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a few CSers in Toronto and they've all been great! I've had a few stay and it is amazing how two strangers and put so much trust in each other so quickly. It was a good experience, and I hope to help out any travelers if I can and get to know them while they're here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have climbed a frozen waterfall in Hamilton, Ontario! Definitely awesome. The heroic feel of lunging from one ice pillar to the next and sinking your picks into it is more than satisfying.

Teach, Learn, Share

Insight into music

The beauty of dance

The true teachings of Christianity (I emphasize true because of all the negative and misused ways the Bible has been abused with)
