Hello, my name is Brenna and I'm from Canada. I started backpacking through Los Angeles, New Zealand and Australia at the start of the year with my twin sister. However, now I am flying solo and heading back to New Zealand to work. I absolutely love New Zealand and the Kiwis... so laid back, trusting, happy and a great sense of humour... just like Canadians! I am a very fun and respectful guest. I always make sure to clean up after myself and offer to cook up some tasty vegan meals for my guests. I pride myself on causing as little harm to anything or our planet as possible. I respect and love everyone. I can't say I've met one person I haven't loved since I left Canada. "Fall inlove with as many things and as many times as you can." I can't help it, that's how I live my life... I love it! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm backpacking around New Zealand and it would be great to stay with locals and make friends. If you're looking to meet an awesome Canadian girl, look no further. I'm super chill and don't need much other than a roof over my head at night time, and if you want I can cook up some tasty vegan meals. :)

Interests

I love all kinds of physical activity. I've travelled to Denmark, and Iceland to play Team Handball. And I was apart of my provincial Rugby Team which placed second at Canadian Nationals. I also love to dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On the Sunshine Coast of Australia I meditated for 10 days at the Vipassana Meditation Retreat. You must stay silent for 10 days and meditate for up to 12 hours each day. (If you are reading this right now please, please, make note of Vipassana Meditation and find out where the closest retreat is to you... everyone can benefit from this.) The meditation honestly changed my life. I had no idea the power of meditation until I did it myself. All negative energies and thought patterns and habits leave your body. You feel amazing afterwards. This meditation would be extremely beneficial to people struggling with bad habits, addictions, negative emotions... depression or anger issues. Or anyone who wants to become enlightened or see the power of meditation for themselves.
