Overview
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.

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.
