I'm a young person with an old soul. I'm the kind of person that can appreciate anything and has a strong love for arts, culture, food, academia and adventure. Concerned with environmental issues, politics, pop culture- I could literally talk about anything. I'm a pretty massive nerd. Pretty friendly and outgoing, I'm open to do most anything at least once in life. If it's not too cliche to say: Life's too short otherwise. Let's hang out! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that one of the great joys of traveling is the opportunity for shared human experience . We all live such different lives with different experiences and viewpoints, and as a life-long learner I want to be able to meet people who are open to sharing these stories with me and vice versa!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have hundreds of stories of my travels or from home. As a sponge for information, I have a lot of knowledge and interests I can engage others in. I'm all about that reciprocal teaching and hope that whoever hosts me ends up having a reciprocal and wholesome experience with me. New to photography, I'm really eager to take more pictures and document my travels, and I hope you can be a part of that visual memory.
Driven and always looking for a new adventure, I'm sure that we'll have a ton of fun, and when you come to Canada, I can host you!
