Hi! My name is Alayna!
I am 25 and I am from Canada. I am currently living in Brussels, Belgium, where I am an Au Pair. I moved abroad in 2013 to live in the United States, where I then lived there for 3.5 years. I moved to Europe in August of 2016, where I am currently, and have lived in Switzerland and now Belgium.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know people but I am NOT using CS as a dating app, so please do not message me or host me if you are looking for something else. That's what is Tinder is for... I want to couch surf to be able to travel more, to meet new people and to be exposed to many more customs and cultures.

I also really prefer to an authentic experience while travelling, rather than the always touristic point of view. I love to see places, things and people in a different way, so the cookie cutter perfect experience isn't always what I'm looking for. I want to try new food, explore places the locals go and find some new hidden gems.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have completed a Tough Mudder! (Check it out on Youtube)

And I have moved abroad (3 times) Once to the United States, a second time to Switzerland and now to Belgium.

Teach, Learn, Share

I genuinely want to meet people and travel safely. I like doing a combination of hanging out and going out. I like playing board games, having a glass of wine/beer, and getting to kknownew people and their stories but I also enjoy going out for a night on the town to explore new places and meet new faces.

I am willing to explore things on my own, as well as things with a host.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation, a glass of wine... or two, some personal experiences being from North America, my sharing the household duties and cleaning up after myself, as well as cooking meals!
