I have lived in downtown St John's for most of my life and I'm very content here. I especially enjoy St John's in the summer when the city is lively and energized.
I spent some time studying French at Memorial University which connected me with people and travel. I had the chance to travel to different French speaking places such as St Pierre et Miquelon, Nova Scotia and Quebec.
I switched to Massage therapy in 2014 because it's more aligned with my interests- health, healing and movement. I enjoy all kinds of activities such as climbing, hiking, swimming, yoga and my new love; swing dancing!
While I enjoy being active I also love my lazy time- movie nights and sleep-ins are the best!
I work as a Massage Therapist 3 days a week which I think is the perfect amount of time to work at anything!
I have an uncontrollable sweet tooth and so I do a good bit of baking.
I have a 9 year old Gordon Setter named Molly who I adore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been inspired by my friends who host couchsurfer's regularly. Traveler's are always passing through my community and it's really cool to have new friends to share experiences with, however brief there stay might be. Often people who only intend to pass through end up staying in Newfoundland indefinitely- the ultimate compliment!
I'm excited to share adventures with new friends.

Interests

I like being outside- hiking, swimming, climbing or just relaxing. I swing dance at least once a week and like dancing in general.
I don't make a lot of art but I enjoy looking at other peoples. I'm particularly interested in ceramics.
I like potlucks and get togethers with friends.
