About Me

I began to travel after completing my degree in 2024. I have never experienced travelling in my own country (Canada), so I set off from Ontario to explore beautiful British Columbia and Alberta, primarily in the Rocky Mountains. Coinciding with my degree in sports science, I love hiking, swimming, snowboarding, and just generally being outside. I am currently travelling Japan after doing a winter ski season in Niseko!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I met a girl travelling in Japan in a hostel. Her stories of using this app were incredible and made me want to sign up right away! I would love to meet people locally while travel and also be able to give something back in return.

Interests

  • reading
  • hiking
  • swimming
  • snowboard

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite genre of music is indie, folk, alternative bands, australian surfy bands. My current obsession is the new Noah Kahan album.

I am currently reading The Memoirs of A Geisha as I am travelling in Japan.

No current favourite movies but always open to recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked a volcano in Guatemala and that was probably the most difficult hike I have done but it was incredible and absolutely worth the struggle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be a swim instructor so I have experience working with children. I grew up in a house with lots of pets so I love animals and have a general idea of how to take care of them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can be useful in many ways! I can help cook, cleaning, watching children/pets.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Mongolia, New Zealand, South Korea

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Japan
