CURRENT MISSION

Travel, write, and love my life.

ABOUT ME

Hello friends! My name is Alison and I'm a backpacker. I snowboard, play guitar, write stories, ref basketball, make hemp bracelets, and drink copious amounts of coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

Life should be spent doing what makes you happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I meet folks, go for coffee, carpool. I haven't yet extended my couch or slept on someone else's - but I'd like to try!

Interests

I'm always ready to try something new! I've become a little more timid since breaking my back snowboarding in France last winter, but I'm still keen on experiencing local life and getting the authentic flavour of a place.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything indie or accoustic. I also love EDM/Chillstep.
Bill Bryson is my favourite author.
Back to the Future is my favourite movie.
I don't know any celebrities names or the latest gossip. Feel free to educate me, just don't expect me to remember (or care).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping in New Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain to you how we Canadians survive -50 degrees Celcius, what the rules of hockey are, and what the word 'toque' means :) I love learning new languages, history, and trying different foods! I will answer any questions you have in order to share a bit of my life wiith you.
