Hi! I'm Alannah (they/them).

I love meeting new people, I love hearing people's stories and learning about people.

I grew up in small town Saskatchewan, moved to Winnipeg when I was 18 and have been here ever since!

I love animals! I have two big dogs. I'm hoping to be able to host one day, but currently am unable to. I deleted all of my social media this summer, but am happy to talk via email or texting before meeting!

As a guest I am very self-sufficient, courteous and tidy. My bff long distance friend (who has hosted me often) recently referred to me as someone who "would just get a loaf of bread for the week and be set."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't traveled in a minute! I rejoined because on a whim I decided to go to clown school in LA in January! It's a 4 day thing and then I'm spending an extra five days to explore the city.

Interests

I have a lot of creative practices that sometimes fluctuate. I'm a musician, writer, new filmmaker. I also do improv, (so I guess I'm also an improvisor?) which I am so in love with, and can earnestly talk about in depth if prompted.

• writing
• books
• coffee
• movies
• music
• art
• filmmaking
• dance
• printmaking
• improv
• comedy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked a season as a laborer doing concrete, like building sidewalks and roads. The season just finished and I cannot believe I lasted as a construction bro for that long!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm down to hang out and chat, or not! I think I'm a combo introvert/extravert, and am very into direct communication. I wish I could say I could cook for people but the executive functioning required for that is not something I possess. I sure can clean though.

I love sharing stories, and I especially love listening to them.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, United States
