GREETINGS FRIEND!

My name is Anna and I am a 29 year old Canadian woman who finished backpacking through South East Asia to play some Ultimate Frisbee tournaments.

I am currently working and living in Toronto, Canada.

I was living out of a backpack for 19 months and I could not be happier. My friends told me about all the amazing things Couch Surfing has to offer and I want to seize this opportunity to meet locals and immerse myself in their culture by eating local delicacies and exchanging stories.

I was born and raised in Toronto, which is a giant melting pot of different ethnicities and I am blessed to have grown up with open-minded people. I had a really good job back home but there was always a passion for travelling and so I uprooted all the way across the world.

I spent a year working and living in Melbourne which is one of the best cities in the world. I met great people in the Ultimate Frisbee community and the hospitality industry. It is with a heavy heart that I had to leave but that is ok! I am ready to backpack through South East Asia because I am not ready to go home yet.

So far, I have been doing hostels in every city I have travelled in, but I think that Couch Surfing can really bring a unique experience and perspective as a solo traveller. And I hope to bring a unique perspective and refreshing breath of life into your home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Immerse myself in cultures and cuisine that I am unfamiliar with.

Interests

I was travelling around Asia to play Ultimate Frisbee tournaments. But in-between my tournaments, I like to explore on foot to find good places to eat. Or getting lost and discovering hidden gems. I also enjoying talking to other travellers because a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet. Everybody has a story to tell, and I am a great listener.

I enjoy beginning my morning with a cup of tea. I usually save my coffee intake for the afternoon if I need one. I want to say I can say I practice yoga and meditation, it is something I wish to practice more of now that I have a lot of time on the road. I am also trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle by being a conscious consumer. I want to consume less in general. And I would also like to begin to live a less materialistic life. Less is more, right?? Maybe we can help create less clutter in our lives together.

When I am out in the evening, I like looking for live music venues and sipping on whatever suits my palate. I enjoy a drink here and there but I never look to get wasted. Just enough so I can dance like nobody is watching. Love me some jazzy tunes or some funk!

When I am not out and about, I enjoy tuning out and listening to Nujabes or whatever suits my mood. Even the occasional silly cartoon in the background.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently enjoying Gavin Turek's music. Specifically the song Whitney. It's a feel good, nu-disco track that just puts me in a great mood.

Currently reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami

Been a fan of Pulp Fiction and all Tarantino flicks (but I haven't seen True Romance, Dusk til Dawn, Hateful 8 yet.. 😶)
