Hi there! I'm an experienced traveler who was raised on the road, traveling slowly full-time with my family as a kid. I recently completed my undergrad at Queen's University in Ontario, and am now on the road again. Currently traveling through Indonesia, and then on to Europe and Morocco for the winter! Planning to drive across Canada when I get home. :)

I support myself through my business, VA Without Borders, building and managing websites, and doing SEO and social media work for clients. I work for a few different organizations and am always looking for ways to expand my network as I go.

I'm pretty quiet and laid-back (and sometimes shy at first), but I love exploring, adventures, and getting to know people around the world. I deeply value community-building along the way!

No food allergies or anything, but I am a little bit allergic to cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Community is one of the most important parts of world travel. I love landing in a new place and building connections, seeing the destination through the eyes of locals or expats. Staying in AirBnb alone can get lonely!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't pick a favorite movie - Star Wars, The Princess Bride, Indiana Jones, travel or planet documentaries, all the Marvel movies. Currently reading Vagabonding, by Rolf Potts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built my own business and was fully supporting myself through online work at age 19. This allows me the financial freedom to travel and meet people. It was hard work and I'm proud of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a fiddler and I travel with my instrument. I can teach SEO best practices, social media management, editing, website odds and ends, how to bake an amazing pumpkin pie, and more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to cook you a meal, introduce you to poutine, bake a pumpkin pie, help with a big chore, or troubleshoot a problem with your website. :)

When I get home, you're welcome to swing by Kingston, Ontario and I'll give you a fantastic tour of my home community. If you're lucky, we'll go sailing or square dancing.
