CURRENT MISSION

To breathe fresher air with my head in the clouds and feet planted firmly in the earth.

ABOUT ME

I'm a nature-loving, friendly, and sometimes quirky cat lady who enjoys tending to her garden and chickens in downtown Winnipeg.

PHILOSOPHY

I was raised by cats and Disney movies. I think I've turned out okay and grown a lot considering the circumstances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My time experiencing the world with the people in it (ie: you) is as important to me as the time I experience in and with myself. You may see this during my stay with you or your stay with me. My goal is to make connections (inner/outer/inter/intra).

Interests

I am health and socially conscious, love to bike, learn and practice yoga, cook, bake and ferment. My main interest is in herbalism and the medicine nature provides us.

Music, Movies, and Books

Show me your favourite band and I'll probably love it.

I love fiction infused with either complete fantasy (ex: Harry Potter) or a good dose of facts (ex: Chuck Palahniuk, Stieg Larsson, Margaret Atwood)

Give me any book on the body, health & nutrition, plants, spirit medicine, life philosophy, etc and I may not submerge for days. I highly suggest folks read Sally Fallon (Nourishing Traditions), Dr. Natasha Campbell (Gut and Psychology Syndrome), Stephen Buhner (Plant Spirit Medicine), Paul Pitchford (Healing with Whole Foods), Kahlil Gibran (The Prophet), Bell Hooks (All About Love) to name a few and more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkelling in the coral reefs of Indonesia.
Getting stung by a sting ray on a beautiful Costa Rican beach.
Living, breathing, touching, smelling, communicating with, working, laughing on, experiencing, learning from the land while interning at Herb Pharm in Williams, Oregon.
