CURRENT MISSION

To be able to identify 100 Country's flags and learn the fiddle!

ABOUT ME

I am a really easy-going sort of person who is always up for some sort of adventure and experiencing new and old things alike. I would like to think that I'm easy to talk to, cheerful and old-school when it comes to values and things that are important to me. I love being places that I don't have to wear shoes, places where wearing old and tattered camping-plaid is totally acceptable, and places where music spontaneously spills out!

PHILOSOPHY

Be genuine, kind and really care about others. Get out and experience new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My roomates and I had some Montreal-ians come and stay with us in Halifax, which was one of the two best parts of the first semester (the other best part was when we went to see them!). We took them around the city and bonded really quickly! I can't say enough good things about this program and how it is a great opportunity to meet people from all around!

Interests

Reading everything and anything, hiking, the outdoors, listening to music, socializing, learning about anything, karate, traveling, movies. I love traveling and seeing new things and meeting new people. I just started playing the fiddle and piano as well, so I'm really interested in that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sun coming up on a lake at my home in Northern British Columbia while canoeing, totally serene and totally surreal. Seen snow fall on a hot day in the mountains of Spain.
