CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and meet people

ABOUT ME

Recently graduated from high school and not quite sure what I want to study in college. So I took this year off to work and travel!

In June 2009, I moved out to an apartment in Coquitlam, BC with my boyfriend Thomas. Shortly after we adopted two kittens, Ally & Whizzy. Currently I work full-time and plan to go back to school in Fall 2010 to study Hotel & Restaurant Management.

About me:
I can be really shy and people usually take it the wrong way. I love to laugh and be outside when the weather is nice. When I'm not working, I like to go hiking and for walks. I'm also a bit (okay 'bit' may be an understatement) of an environmentalist.

PHILOSOPHY

I always find it so hard to express my feelings in words and envy those that can with total eloquence. I try to be optimist about the future, but find my self being mostly pessimistic. I feel we are on the brink unless things start changing and people realize that (for the most part) their actions are damaging (ie. consumerism, materialism, arrogance, ignorance).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my couchsurfing experiences have been amazing and there is no better way to travel than to stay with the people who live in the cities you are traveling.

People I've Surfed:
Raffaello - Verona
Muriel - Bern
Eoin and Claire - Paris
Bastian - Brussels
Eva and Ricardo - The Hague

Interests

- movies
- hiking/walking/biking/skating/rollerblading
- cooking, mostly vegetarian since its cheaper (but not too much baking going on)
- photography (learning)

I'm also interested in learning how to sew and knit.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Blood Diamond, Lost In Translation, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Knocked Up, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Juno... why too many to list...

I love watching movies and can easily watch 2 to 3 new movies every week.

Music: Almost all music. Definitely not country, rap, or emo. A few of my favourite artists are Tiesto, Rise Against, Billy Talent, Foo Fighters.
