About Me

I competed on the Canadian National Team at the highest level in my discipline of Synchronized Figure Skating for the past 7 years. I have three World Silver Medals and a World Championship Tittle under my belt and have been fortunate enough to travel extensively visiting arenas and a few sites here and there all over the planet. I've grown up in this highly competitive but artistic atmosphere which has shaped and moulded me into the person I am today. I'm forever grateful for the experiences iv'e had thus far but it's time for me to step outside my comfort zone, it's time for me to explore every other aspect of myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to Explore the World: To help mother earth, to learn how I can help, to offer my help, to get closer to the natural world, to develop my consciousness, to learn about anything that comes my way, to struggle, to meet people, to learn from each other, to connect~~>all the while healing-loving-feeling-being alive. Just trying to figure out how to be the change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skated two clean programs with Nexxice (Team Canada 1) in front of a home crowd at the World Synchronized Skating Championships 2015, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. And claimed the tittle of World Champion alongside my teammates/friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach yoga and I can help with developing a healthy lifestyle. I can of course also teach skating.

I would love to learn about sustainable living, organic farming and gardening, mountaineering, wilderness survival, other peoples lives etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer: Healthy snack combinations, a calm and peaceful disposition, a willingness to help with anything, healing techniques developed through self practice (I believe we feel discomfort/illness in our bodies to incite an active change towards love-oneness), open and honest conversation.
