CURRENT MISSION

After three amazing years travelling Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia I went back home to Canada for a little over a year. Now I'm back out exploring the world with my partner Marc; this time in Europe!

I've done a bit of hosting with my boyfriend while in Wellington, NZ and in Melbourne, Aus so I like to think we are pretty good when it comes to sharing space and our lives with others. :)
ABOUT ME

It's always awkward to try to describe yourself. What I can say is I am still learning who I am, but I always try to be outgoing and to understand new perspectives. I have an interesting sense of humour, maybe a bit cynical but not too jaded I promise. I love a good conversation especially regarding politics or religion. ;)

I don't have a lot of focus in life right now but I am definitely enjoying myself never the less. I am exploring and learning.

Like I said I always enjoy a good chat, especially over a coffee. I don't care what time or day, I will always be up for a coffee outing. :)
Love listening to live music, trying new foods and am currently really into photography. It started with landscapes, and now I'm interested in branching out into street and portrait photography.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn from all experiences.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had a bit of experience with both being hosted and hosting. I've had some great experiences being hosted in Aus and helping out fellow travellers by hosting. Now I'm on another adventure!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting new people and learning so much from the little things are the best part of the experience!

Intereses

I love a lot of things including music, art and time with friends. I love music concerts, visiting museums and art galleries!
I've spent a lot of the last few years behind a bar and love to learn new tricks and drinks. I'm from a smaller city in Canada and a lot of the time there's not much to do other than drink. You don't need alcohol to have a good time but it certainly helps.

I also love meeting new people, hearing their stories and learning about new cultures.
Other than that I like nerdy things. Board games, card games and video games.
I'm always down for a night out on the town as well though!

Some of my other favourite movies include Empire Records, The Virgin Suicides, Mulan, Amelie, Videodrome, Captain America, I <3 Huckabees, Les Miserables, Zoolander, and for some reason I thoroughly enjoy ultra cheesy horror flicks.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I would love to help anyone with language or if I am hosting definitely teach you a little about the area you are visiting.

I can also give a couple cooking lessons.

Of course a fantastic dinner may be in order as well as a good chat over a beer or a hot drink.
