Hello! Canadian-born living in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

I am a Master's student in Civil Engineering at the University of Waterloo. I'm a bit of a quiet person, but I love cracking jokes when I can! I'm definitely a geek/nerd - I don't party much at all. I love all things transportation (cars, planes, trains, buses, boats, you name it!).

I sing and I conduct choirs as well! Classical music has been something I've always enjoyed. I also love cooking and trying new foods (and wine!!!). I am a teacher at heart and love working with students when I can.

I've always loved travelling, and I believe the journey to a destination can be as much a joy as the destination itself. I love sightseeing, and you can do so much sightseeing as you move!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Growing up in Canada, I have always been fascinated by all the other cultures who surrounded me. What better way to experience another culture than by meeting folks from that culture! I love learning, and I hope to be able to learn more about others by Couchsurfing!
