I'm really into community projects, helping youth, travelling/road trips, winter, and swimming & beaches, and also like photography, folk music, swimming, cycling and Katimavik. And my border collie!

I haven't been able to host alot of people due to having housemates, but I have used CS before and have several friends who have as well!

Currently I teach ESL on the side (ie. 6:30-9:10am weekday mornings, and 8-9pm at night) while studying full time for a Child and Youth Care diploma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and have good experiences while travelling! It's way better to couch surf than stay at a Best Western!! I like getting insider info in the places where I'm visiting!

Interests

Eating healthy and locally, road trips, being outside as much as possible, and going on adventures with my dog!

• dogs
• photography
• cooking
