Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm very outgoing and love meeting strangers/travelers. My community is fairly isolated and composed mostly of Canadian students and academics, but through traveling I've been able to meet people very different from me, and experienced many things I would never have been able to experience had I stuck to my own little community back home.
Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I've Done
One time in Berlin I spent an entire night on the rooftop of an abandoned building, I only knew a few people, the rest were all travelers who met up by chance and wanted to share experiences. I don't remember ever hearing so many incredible stories all in one night, and watching the sunrise after a surreal night while finishing up the last of our beers was definitely one of my favourite travelling moments.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Travel experiences, love for tennis and sports in general, bad jokes. I can also make a really delicious chicken dish and couscous salad, or bake a dessert!
My Interests
