CURRENT MISSION

To put out some good karma, get some back, and see the world

ABOUT ME

i'm a fairly simple, laid back lady who loves to have a good time. i love music, skateboarding, the outdoors, art, and yoga.

PHILOSOPHY

"Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment—not discouragement—you will find the strength is there. Any disaster that you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You'll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes."

-Joseph Campbell

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a few surfers in Canmore and surfed during the Folk Festival in Calgary. When I was in Asia, I met up with a few CS'ers for a peek around and some drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i am an experienced host to surfers. usually touring bands with low budgets and mutual friends needing a place to lay their heads and some food for their tummies. a few of my favorite moments were definately making panckaes for 8 people, including the members of Health, on an early saturday morning, then sitting around in our pyjamas watching arthur. i'm a caregiver by nature, but an adventurer too. so, once my nannying stint here is done, i hope to surf many a couch of my own.
