CURRENT MISSION

To discover the world while keeping my ecological footprint very small.

PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing in life is to be happy and to be a beautiful person on the inside.

I live by these two quotes:
“It's better to burn out than to fade away.”

And

“Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the summer of 2009, I travelled throughout Quebec on bike. It was my frist time couchsurfing, and it was a great experience. I met a lot of great people that I would not have met otherwise and I've had experiences that I could only have through couchsurfing.

Interests

Sports! I love wakeboarding, waterskiing, wakesurfing, snowboarding, biking, volleyball, swimming, yoga, squash, and the list goes on. I adore lakes and oceans and if I could, I would be in the water every single day. It is my favourite place to be.

I love travelling and meeting people and learning about different cultures.

I also love to read. I am constantly reading, and I will basically read anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen so many things that it is difficult to pick. I have travelled quite a bit and from bungee jumping to paragliding to scuba diving to cliff jumping, it has all been amazing. One of my favourite places to be is at my cabin at the lake.

I've backpacked throughout Western Europe and Southeast Asia. I did a yoga retreat in Costa Rica and am doing another this year in Mexico.
