About Me

Just a chill Canadian artist working in California. I've experienced only a small slice of the world and I'm hungry for more. Always looking to try out unfamiliar things and new experiences. I'm interested, open, and up for anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but not as an isolated tourist. I travel to discover new cultures, make friends with people from completely different backgrounds, share some good times, and give back what I can.

There's nothing more boring to me than staying in a hotel. My favorite travel experiences have been stargazing from a Bedouin tent in the Negev desert, sharing fish stew with Ghanaian farmers, and waking up to the howling monkeys of the Costa Rican rainforest.

While I'm not able to host right now, if you're coming to town I'd love to help you find a place and show you around!

Interests

Love seeing live music, doing yoga, getting some surf in, meditating, learning new meals to cook, sketching at a cafe, sharing good conversation over some beers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing the biggest bungee jump in Central America on a whim. Somewhere there's a GoPro video of me plummeting and screaming like a little girl.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to make a french souffle or a mushroom risotto, but I'm probably more interested in your favorite meal. I can show you how to rock climb, basics of surfing, a dance move or two.

I'd love to learn what's most exciting to you about your city - whether it be the art scene, the music you're into, nature to explore, your favorite bar, whatever!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some laughs, good food, a story or two.
