About Me

🍅96% - Finishing my second Masters this July and then cycling through Europe and Africa to celebrate! Love my friends, movies and games, but love being outside and active just as much. Progressive, decent, funny and consent educated. I'm the best kind of awkward, a huge fan of adventure, happy as I am, and just looking to couchsurf with some awesome people as I cycle 7000kms from Amsterdam to Dakar, Senegal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am doing a lot of cycling (often multi-day) and am seeking open minded and generous hearts that want to share my adventures by letting me enjoy a hot shower and a couch. 😊

Interests

Mountain biking, road cycling, downhill skiing, running (when I can't do any of the above sports), video games, movies, books, art exhibits, live music, plays, operas, pubs, and good food with good company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Turkey and Ecuador. Mountain biked in Moab, Utah and broke my Specialized Epic in half! Lol. Broke my right arm twice mountain biking.

Cycled 3300kms in 31days from Guelph, Canada to Saint John's, Newfoundland in 2016. Unfortunately, I chose to cycle the east coast of Canada in the spring. Lol. So wet. So cold. Lol

International trade conferences in February 2018 in Colombia and Chile.

Graduating from my second master's program Nov 2018.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, gratitude, and perhaps a bit of red wine if I'm able to come prepared. Lol
