CURRENT MISSION

To figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

ABOUT ME

I am a very friendly and outgoing person who loves talking to new people and learning about their way of life. Traveling is what makes me happiest in the world and I think that couchsurfing is such a beautiful idea. I just graduated from University and am spending a year working as an English assistant in Northern France before I begin my Masters of Public Health in Vancouver!

PHILOSOPHY

"A day without tea is worse than three days without food"
-Chinese philosophy

"Belief in karma ought to make the life pure, strong, serene, and glad. Only our own deeds can hinder us; only our own will can fetter us. Once let men recognize this truth, and the hour of their liberation has struck. Nature cannot enslave the soul that by wisdom has gained power and uses both in love". ~Annie Besant

Be kind to one another.

I like discovering the quirks that only are noticeable after you spend an extended amount of time with a person.

The most amazing thing I have ever done in my life was waking up at 3 am to jog to Machu Pichu, while hiking the Inca trail. We got there as the sun was rising through the sungate. Breathtaking.
