CURRENT MISSION

To let life flow through me... and to learn how to love, live, and communicate through all our differences. :)

ABOUT ME

I am just me. I love biking, diving, hiking, chilling with my dog, being happy... at least when I'm happy. :) I'm vegetarian, with vegan aspirations (here in North America, anyways, where my consumer vote seems like one of the only ways to go.) I identify with the queer family and love to meet people who are defying and redefining normalcy in one way or another. I want to learn, smile, adventure. And I want to find that perfect city or place that I "just know" is all mine to embrace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed in San Francisco, and it was *amazing*, though I have unofficially couchsurfed in other places as well. Unfortunately at the moment I'm living in a house where not everyone is cool with the site, so I can't offer a couch but would *love* to show you around Calgary as best I can! I'm excited to meet people and travel, as well as to share the traveling knowledge on this site. Is there more? Tell me and I'll do more! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The ones where you don't even know you'll be crashing at the person's house until it just happens, and then you are friends for life, in a sense, from this embracing of life in that moment.

Interests

Changing the world. Transformative questions. Quiet moments. Activism that flies under the radar (and activism that doesn't). Film, video production and all art appreciation. Writing! Singing. I love physical spaces that captivate the audience! Feminism, queerness, BDSM. Dogs. Speaking in Russian. Body movement. Pleasure-based ethical spirituality of all kinds. Connection. Wandering new and old places. Discovery, ecstasy, abandon, fulfillment, and love. And remembering to dance and laugh...
