About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find time to escape the rat race through likeminded people and incredible places

ABOUT ME

I recently moved to Edmonton, Alberta after completing my Masters Degree in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm excited to continue doing what I enjoy the most in a new city; meeting new people. Although my backpacking days are now reserved for a few weeks each year, I hope couchsurfing will continue to help introduce me to fellow traveling enthusiasts.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem Baby!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I was traveling a few years ago I used Couchsurfing to meet new people along my journeys while enjoying the hospitality of their couch. Now I hope I can do the same for current travelers traveling across this great country or meet fellow Edmontonians with the same energy for new people, places and cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with several people throughout Russia, Latvia, Turkey, and Belgium. I now have some incredible experiences that I would have never experienced had it not been for these people and couchsurfing. I have yet to host anyone, but I hope to give back to the couchsurfing community soon!

Interests

Tough one...
I'm interested in traveling. I moved to Aaia in 2006 and spent the 2 years living and traveling all over Asia. My experiences have transformed the way I, not only view the world, but how I view life in general. The people I've met and the places I've been have all played a part in chnaging my perspective on things.
When I'm not on the move, I spend a lot of time searching for and listening to new music, reading, playing sports and staying in shape!
