A big part of who I am is what I do, which is biology! I've always been intrigued by how life begins and its exactly what I get to do now :) Its also forced me to move away from my comfort zone to a new country, meet new people, new ideas, culture, language and food!
Moving to the south of France, also, forced me to explore my adventurous side, hiking, snorkeling, kayaking and mountain biking, were things I'd never thought I'd enjoy, but now look forward to every summer!!
I also enjoy nature-y things like national parks, bird watching etc. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it to be an interesting way to discover new places and new people. As a generally shy introvert, I'm trying to push myself to travel alone and discover and learn on my own and meet new people along the way
