CURRENT MISSION

To see much more of the world! I am planning a trip to Europe with my boyfriend Galen from June to September 2017. Since we'll be travelling together, you can check out his profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/galen-drinnan.

We are planning on WWOOFing (World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) in the UK and France, and visiting Iceland, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

ABOUT ME

I have lived in Toronto for almost four years, studying and working in the urban planning field. I am interested in history, stories, agriculture, and meeting interesting people. I like comedy of all kinds and love to laugh. I also really enjoy live music, and have major love for many Canadian bands.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will work out :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
