Overview
About Me
I'm a 19 year old Canadian currently living and studying (linguistics and philosophy) in Montreal. I took a year off before starting University and fell in love with traveling. I backpacked across New Zealand, worked in London, and biked for 2 months across Western Europe. Since I went back home I've been waiting and looking forward to traveling again, and now I'm backpacking through Eastern Europe for the next three months.
I'm very easy going and don't need much more than a space on the floor for my mattress. I love learning and I love to meet interesting people and experienced other cultures and ways of life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
