About Me

Hey there!

I'm a fun, friendly, wanderlusting Canadian girl in search of good vibes and travel funds.

This will be my first time trying couchsurfing, but I already enjoy the community and reading about all the wonderful and generous hosts out there, I'm so excited to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like many modern nomads I want to work my way around the world, learn new skills and meet incredible people for as long as possible. Couchsurfing will take accommodation out of my budget so I can go farther for cheaper, and for that I am so grateful.

Some day, when I have a couch of my own I will gladly host like-minded travellers from all over the world!

Interests

I love to go dancing, swimming, hiking, and be outdoors soaking up the sun. I sometimes dabble in slacklining, skiing, rowing, Tarot cards, Acro-yoga, salsa dancing, chakra/energy work, and I'm currently learning to play the didgeridoo! I am a yoga teacher, I practice Thai bodywork and am passionate about connecting with other people. Travel has become a lifestyle for me in the past year, I'm still learning the ropes and am eager to learn and try new things!

I'm a cat person at heart, but I generally get along with most household pets or other wildlife you may keep in your company... except chihuahuas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a treeplanter in Northern BC, Canada for two summers and it's one of the hardest thing I've ever done. It's a lot of repetitive, back-breaking work, but I learned so much about myself and how to push through even the most challenging situations in life. Ask me about it!

Other cool things include being an au pair in Italy, learning thai massage, travelling Guatemala and most recently, hitchhiking from Prince George, BC to California with my best friend :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach yoga for all levels and ages, it is my passion and I love to share it! I am recently trained in Thai massage bodywork and am always in need of practice. I love to trade stories and have long talks over tea with new friends, and I'm a great listener.

I am open minded, easy going and am up for trying new things and exploring new cities.

Unfortunately, I'm not a very good cook so if you feel like teaching me, I have so much to learn!

I am a slow but determined learner of new languages, I'm always up for new words or phrases... Spanish is particularly helpful at this point in my life. I'll be travelling to Mexico in January

What I Can Share with Hosts

yoga jams, Thai Massages, stories, thoughts about life. I'm not a great cook but I'd be down for pitching in on meals together
