Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to avoid "real life" as long as possible, to experience as much of the world as possible
ABOUT ME
well, I'm a 22 year old Canadian from Ottawa, studying acting. Since high school, I guess you'd say I've been a little scattered in my life approach; I did 1 year at an art school, then left to work for about a year to save up for traveling. Traveled in Africa and Europe for about 7 months (worked in France for about 4 of those months), then back to canada, penniless, to work again in order to save up for my next trip(during which time I've been studying theater). I left in May to travel in China, SE Asia, and Aus/NZ and I'm still at it.
To the untrained eye, it would seem that I have no direction...actually that may be true, but I enjoy my life, so...(shrug)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Traveling right now, so only surfing at the moment, but when I get home....and find a home (eeeshk) I'm definitely going to host anyone who want to venture all the way to Canada
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was stranded in Edinburgh without a place to stay, and a case of the stomach flu, and a random couchsurfer walked up to me (a complete stranger to him) and offered me a place to stay. If that is what people on couch surfing are all about, that's something I want to be a part of.
Interests
Above all, I'm interested in people (which when I read it back sounds kind of creepy, but I mean it in a purely non creeper way) and wandering through various parts of the world. I aspire to be an actress (does not pay the bills yet, but fingers crossed) so I am a lover of all live theater and a mass-collector of movies.
I grew up near the ocean and the woods so I love all things that even closely resemble camping, and I adore canoeing and Kayaking.
Obviously I love music, because...really...who honestly doesn't love music? If there's a live band somewhere, I want to know about it.
