I am a 30 year old born and raised in Calgary. I studied, lived, and worked abroad for more than 12 years and only returned to my hometown in 2013.

By trade, I am a HR professional but I left the corporate world recently. I teach cello and speech arts & drama privately to students aged 5 to 45. I am an aspiring visual artist (www.northernlightspaintings.com) and I am also a fertility consultant (www.surrogacyincanada.com). I am in a graduate program studying language and literacy.

I love to travel and have traveled to almost 90 countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just want to meet others and have a great time. I just dont want to have extreme partiers and all they want to do is drink and not do anything else.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Apr5/10 - Hosted a French guy from some wee town - he happily obliged to take part in my spinning class that I teach and I took him to a really nice restaurant and showed him around.

I have never couch surfed in my life. nor have I hosted. But I have friends that visit me all the time.
