My name is Anna! Looking to conquer 30 countries by 30. I am a BC girl born and raised, spending my formative years growing up on Vancouver Island before settling in Vancouver for 8 years. I decided I needed a change of pace, and 3 years ago I drove across the country with my cat and relocated to the East Coast in Montreal. I am currently enrolled in a full stack Web Development program, and learning French in my free time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Fav books: House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski, Freedom is aConstant Struggle by Angela Davis, The Empath's Survival Guide by Judith Orloff, or anything by Gabor Mate

All time favorite movie has to be True Romance! But I have a love for anything slasher, horror lol

As for music... I listen to such a range of genres, stretching from classic rock, to edm, to r&b and afrobeats, metal and everything else in between. A lot of my travels have been based around festivals I've traversed to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking up and camping on a volcano in Guatemala. Got to roast marshmallows in the molten rock, and make s’mores at the top!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Aside from my amazing company, and charming demeanour? 😝
I’d be happy to offer some cash, or lend a hand around your place. In general though, you can be rest assured of hosting a clean, fun, respectful guest with a good sense of humour, interesting stories to share, and a compassionate curiosity for those in the world around me!
