Overview
About Me
Musician on tour in the summer months!
Aside from touring, my day-to-day is being a university student (BA Psych, minor in Bio), artist, volleyball player, and wearer of many hats within the Canadian music industry.
Big lover of animals, nature, stargazing, and dancing!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Creating genuine friendships worldwide is really important to me, and getting to know an area through the eyes of those that know and care for it best - the locals.
Possibility of hosting, but would love to be your local tour guide to help explore hidden gems - preferably in the warmer months, as the Canadian winters are bone-chilling cold.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Awarded the Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal when I was 18, for volunteering 150% of my time to the sea cadet program and my community! A lot of opportunities have come my way before then and especially since then, getting to work with amazing local organizations and initiatives, to help strengthen our community.
