About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling in Spain! Working on my food skills! (Both cooking and eating!)

ABOUT ME

I love to travel (goes without saying)!
I really enjoy being outdoors, hiking, biking, scuba diving or just having a picnic!
I'm pretty easy going, I'm friendly but not super extroverted. I'm equally happy to talk to people or just sit and read a book.
Not a big drinker or partier but I will have a couple social drinks every once in awhile. And if you really twist my arm I'll have several drinks and bust out my best dance moves.

PHILOSOPHY

Adding to the sum total of happiness in the world.

Go with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This spring my best friend Molly and I will be travelling around Spain and into Sweden and we're looking for people to stay with or simply show us around!
Hopefully I'll be able to host people in the fall when I get back to Halifax!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The two experiences I've had have been amazing! The generosity of people on this site restores my faith in humanity!

Interests

Being outdoors, reading, knitting, crafting, cooking, baking, listening to music, making dumb jokes, ect.
