About Me
Currently in 🇨🇦
~
2019 was a big year. Completed a bachelor of journalism and political science. Moved to Kathmandu, Nepal, for several months to produce documentaries and a strategic communications plan for a microfinance development bank. Currently working on my M.A., which explores the feasibility of transnational community relocation for the environmentally displaced peoples in small island states.

If I'm not traveling, you'll find me working hard to be able to finance my travels; engrossed in yet another book unraveling the world's many mysteries; or sipping on a few glasses of wine with friends and enjoying the simplicity of life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because... I want to discover the parts of the world that are still unknown, scarcely inhabited, or full of life. I want to be taught the lessons you've learned, and to teach mine in turn. I want to actualize my full human potential and propel myself to greatness. But I can't do it alone. Always looking for eclectic thinkers and entrepreneurs to help me grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Although I've seen snow fall in the Sahara desert and a stampede of camels run through the Atlas Mountains; experienced a pillow fight on an Italian piazza in downtown Rome; burned my skin to the steak, having forgotten my sunscreen at a hotel in Tarragona; had a baby crocodile sit atop my head and a snake circle my body; watched the Pope share his wisdom with the world in front of the infamous Coliseum and the sun set on the Grand Canyon; canoed the Great Lakes of Ontario (Canada); drank beers with friends on porches and under the glittering stars of the night sky; and walked through alleys more beautiful than the monuments you see on postcards, the most amazing thing I’ve done is keep in touch with the people I met along the way, who continue to guide, enlighten and inspire me every day.
