CURRENT MISSION

Re-discovering voluntary simplicity

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, friendly vegan girl... attempting to move little by little toward an ecological lifestyle despite being surrounded by an unecological society. I'm involved here in the urban ecology movement. Quite busy lately, though all with stuff that I enjoy and value :)

PHILOSOPHY

I like the "do no harm" philosophy... I'll move toward it slowly.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed (thanks!) and hosted too. I was really impressed by everyone's openness and generosity when I surfed. Since moving to Quebec City I've had about 15 people come to stay, and they've generally left well-fed :)

兴趣

Thinking, talking, listening, and re-thinking. Voluntary simplicity, sharing-based economy, re-creating visions of success in the modern world. Meeting animals, eating vegetables.
Super slow long-distance biking, wildharvesting clover and saskatoon berries, making soya yogourt under my pillow, eating the delicious fresh food from my vegan reggae farmers, and practicing "extreme gardening", the art of growing plants in implausible places. Playing, juggling, hackey-sack, circus, balancing, fun. Flower stick aficionado. Walking, hiking, meandering, jaunting, and sometimes even strolling. Snowshoeing, sunsets, and beaches with fossils. Mountains, caves, ruins, cliffs, choppy oceans, broken seashells, crags, rocks, forests, trees, moss, lichen, and cacti.

音乐、电影和书籍

La Belle Verte is the best movie ever (ecological englightenment, vegetarianism, and rad circus skills! Whoa!) And some clever person even youtubed it with English subtitles for your viewing convenience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5CmMm_SRpM

For books, I adore Wild Fermentation by Sandor Katz, as well as Ishmael and Story of B by Daniel Quinn.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Watching rescued turkeys jive to reggae music at Animal Acres sanctuary... pretending to be a turbomatic blender in front of hundreds of school children while performing with Otesha... growing gardens directly on my bicycle while riding across Ontario (and you can too)

教，学，和分享

I can teach you how to juggle. Just ask. So-called "poor coordination" poses no barriers :)
