Hey everyone!

My name is Alanna, I'm from Vancouver, Canada where I spend most of my free time hiking, scuba diving and being outdoors. I will be travelling Central America, Columbia and Ecuador from January to May and am eager to immerse myself in the local community and learn about the local communities!

I am a recent McGill University graduate in economics and finance and a Logistics Officer in the Canadian Navy, specializing in transport, procurement and supply chain management. I have 4 months in between school and I am hoping to broaden my horizons and learn more about the world.

Above all, I value new opportunities to learn and grow. Putting myself into different situations and living new experiences is the most important thing for me and a necessity for personal growth and development. I jump at any opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and live a day in someone else's shoes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting strangers and I think the best way to get to know a city is by spending time with locals. I hope I can meet new people and exchange my experience and knowledge for some of yours!
