Overview
About Me
Hey everyone!
I'm a Canadian from Vancouver who just graduated university and has decided to take a year to travel around our gorgeous planet, and thus far it has been the best year ever!!!
So far I've done five months in Southeast Asia (which I absolutely loved) explored Australia & New Zealand (miss the beaches, nature and wild nights out), hung out in South and Central America (became addicted to salsa dancing and the food) and am now finishing my adventure with a three month Euro tour (super pumped). I'm a respectful, tidy, non smoker (don't mind smokers though), very social and super easy going. I love trying new things and visiting new places but even more than that I enjoy meeting different people from all backgrounds, cultures and ethnicities!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
So far it's the people I've met and the friendships I've made that are my absolute favourite thing about traveling and I plan on continuing this by giving couch surfing a try! I fully believe it's not where you go, it's the people you meet along the way (Cliché I know but aren't all good quotes?).
Interests
I love the outdoors, trying new things, extreme sports, all things food, cooking, board games, wine, photography, cats and chocolate ice cream. I'm a major geek for all space related stuff and like to keep up to date with any futurist or tech related things. Game of thrones (books and TV series) is a recent addiction (R+L = J?) Im very outgoing and love a good night out to party, but I also really enjoy relaxing low key evenings, especially when they involve wine and a good movie!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A few interesting life stories... I used to act when I was younger, I ate a beating snake heart, my mom is an ex nun (you would never believe it if you met her), I road on a wild turtle's back in the ocean, I can make delicious sushi, I like the colour red, I drive on the right hand side of the road.
